Isabel Allende delivers another stellar historical fiction novel. This story transported me in time and place to the Chilean Civil War of 1891. I became utterly immersed in Emilia's journey and experiences - I did not want the book to end. And that is the hallmark of great historical fiction. If this genre calls to you, I recommend you pick this book up. If you are on an around-the-world reading journey, this book is PERFECT for Chile. 

Thanks to NetGalley for gifting me an ebook version of the novel in exchange for a review.
