Zorro by Isabel Allende
4.0
I lived in Chile for a couple of years shortly after the "golpe" or revolution that deposed Salvador Allende, the Communist dictator at the time. Since then, I have kept my eye on Chile, and have found reasons to return from time to time, especially with their economic and educational expansion over the past 15 years.
Isabel Allende, the author of this rendition of the legend of Zorro, is Salvador Allende's daughter, and has become an internationally acclaimed novelist. Though I have dipped into several of her other books, this is the only one that I enjoyed enough to keep reading through to the end. It is an entertaining tale of Zorro, considerably different than most other versions of the legend, and with considerable background detail regarding the cultures and events that took place in Spain and early It is more novel than history, but it works well.
