A review by chayareads
The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende

emotional sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.5

A great premise about an important subject, but this was a case of too much telling, not enough showing. Lots of monologue-ing, and history lessons as opposed to allowing the characters to shine. My favourite character was Samuel, whose story starts the books, so solidly. I wish she could have captured the rest of the characters in as much depth.
