This is one of the most beautifully melancholy books I’ve ever read. I cried at the last pages - something that has not happened to me in a long time. I was able to clearly watch as Allende was living every emotion, I left this book having an exact feeling of what each moment felt, who Paula was, and how magical and superstitious Allende is. I look forward to meeting more of her spirits!

Imaginative and prophetic. This was such an endearing read that details grief in such an raw and inventive way. Allende is such a treasured story teller.

A slow burn following a fascinating life leading to a lesson in grief and death and loss

If anything I’ve learned from Allende it’s that holding onto magic in life can give strength - makes me wish I were more open to it 

Also, the story of how she became on of the greatest authors living is wild
