Inés of My Soul
by Isabel Allende
I don't know much about South American history, so this was an interesting way to learn about the early colonization of Peru and Chile (much like [b:Island Beneath the Sea|7005479|Island Beneath the Sea|Isabel Allende|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275611359s/7005479.jpg|6825396] was an interesting way to learn about Haitian and New Orleans history).
Allende took historical accounts of these events, specifically regarding Ines Suarez and Pedro de Valdivia, and fleshed them out into a novel featuring this couple who led the assault on the native inhabitants of Chile and subsequent colonization of the area. The characters were interesting, the events horrifying, but the plot wandered a bit. Some of the battle scenes and other passages I skimmed through.
