A review by alexajsbookshelf
Portrait in Sepia by Isabel Allende

4.0

Isabel Allende is undoubtedly my favorite author. While this book was not my favorite by her, I remain amazed by her ability to completely drop me into a character’s life (to the point where they feel like real people!). I loved Daughter of Fortune, and I really enjoyed revisiting some of the characters from that book and following Eliza’s granddaughter, Aurora Del Valle. I do think my favorite character of the book was Nívea. After reading House of the Spirits a long time ago, I loooved learning more about her earlier life.

I need a full Del Valle family tree and to reread every Isabel Allende book I’ve read and every one I haven’t yet read ASAP.
