coffee_plant 's review for:

A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende
3.0
emotional hopeful reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Overall a beautiful story about hope, home, identity and love in all its different forms. 
I enjoyed most of this book but some of the relationships felt a little forced and a couple of the characters felt flat and unlikeable at times. 
The main characters immediately captured my heart though and the overall story is deeply touching and stays with you for a while after closing the book.
