The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende
5.0
As a fan of Allende's books, I have had this gem in my hands for a long time, and once again I found Allende's writing fascinating.
A wonderful book that can touches and nails the reader down to their sit. Multileveled characters, stories spanning through decades and stretching through the map, compel the reader to connect with the characters, that the author has so eloquently presented to them, and to plunge into a delightful reading that will lead him to laugh, getting emotional, tears, but also compassion.
This, like any other book by Allende, can only make you think about values, ideals, traveling, love, human evolution, and of course what all of the above make if put together: life.
"The Japanese Lover" explores many points and events of world history and provides the reader with new information that grandually create a new perspective for them. A characteristic of Allende's writing, who most certainly is an expert at capruting the essence of her characters' souls: you are forced to meet and eventually get along with them, you get in contact with raw human stories, which consist of memories, stories, experiences, unconscious and unconscious attitudes that lead you -to some extent-understand human nature and therefore the diversity in people's lives and mindsets, which are so complicated , through and because of life.
Although I saw the end coming, it moved and left me with bittersweet feelings.
