Oof. This story was equal parts painful and beautiful and I'll be thinking about it for a long, long time. It's wild that this was Allende's debut novel!

Una storia che difficilmente riuscirò a dimenticare, o che non voglio proprio dimenticare. Una storia che ho amato dalla prima pagina sino all’ultima, che mi ha dato tanto di cui riflettere, e che, nonostante racconti di vicende tumultuose, non mi ha appesantito per niente il viaggio. Un’opera che bisogna leggere.
Un’opera di donne per le donne.

Had this in my library for decades. Wow. Would not have appreciated it earlier. Wow.  The multiple scenes of violence against animals seemed gratuitous. Otherwise, incredible.
