Allende is a great writer. I couldn't put this book down. A great story and great adventure.

This is another one of my top ten all-time favorite books. I just bought it for the third time because I keep giving them away to my friends.
Allende's stories are riveting and her characters are brilliantly drawn. The heroine in this one travels halfway around the globe to find her true love and when circumstances change, she adjusts to her new reality and finds a way to succeed. I love this book. I'm saving the sequel, Portrait in Sepia, as a reward for myself later, when I need rewarding.

This was the first book that I read by Isabel Allende and I LOVED it. She is a master story teller and this book just pulled me right in. Highly recommended. The House of the Spirits is great too!
Very interesting - especially how the story comes full circle. Would definately try another one of this author's books.
