---

I have only read a few of Allende’s books, but this didn’t pull me in quite the same as the others I’ve tried. It felt a little disjointed and the characters lacked depth. This book covers the Chilean civil war, a love story, lost and found family, and a little bit of everything in between. So much happened, and I think it would’ve been richer with a little less happening in more detail. It was enjoyable nonetheless. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review
