rfoley2015 's review for:

My Name Is Emilia del Valle by Isabel Allende
4.25
adventurous emotional medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes

I really enjoyed this book, as usual from Isabel Allende. It ties historical events and human spirit together so well. I felt a lot of the themes it touched on are especially poignant given the current political state in the US.
I will say though Emilia came too close to death too many times and did not die which felt a little too happy ending to me lol.
