A review by snaomiq
Cuentos de Eva Luna by Isabel Allende

4.0

This is an indulging sequel to Eva Luna - it is a collection of short stories that Eva Luna compiles for her husband Rolf Carlé. Some of my favorites were: Walimai (highlighting the story of an indigenous man who frees the soul of another woman captured by Europeans) Cartas de Amor Traicionado (the story of a woman who falls in love with someone who was paid to write her letters), el Palacio Imaginado (the story of an enchanted palace), and De Barro Estamos Hechos (Rolf Carlé’s attempt to save a girl from the subsequent damage of a volcanic eruption).

The story that lingers with me the most is “Vida Interminable” - it is a story that highlights the ethics of suffering/assisted suicide.

If you have read Eva Luna, definitely read and enjoy this compilation!
