Fiction
This sweeping novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea tells the epic story of Violeta Del Valle, a woman whose life spans one hundred years and bears witness to the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century.
Allende is a master at weaving a compelling tale. The story of this book spans 100 years, but the reader never feels lost in the sweeping narrative. I appreciated that the character of Violeta is flawed and feels like a real woman with real needs.
