Search - The Infinite Plan

A new look for Allende: She carries us through the childhood of her husband, growing up as a white kid in the magic of an hispanic barrio.

Interesting family dynamics....shown through the development of the son, Gregory's life living the Hispanic section of California, his struggle though life in Vietnam, through unhappy marriage and disfunctional children. As always, Isabel Allende is the story teller who leads you through the characters adventures, as if you were there! susan

Excellent variation of Allende's regular South American location. Told from a boy's perspective and follows him thru adulthood. Allende's descriptions always leave me wanting to read more - as does this one!

Classic Isabel Allende book, rich with fabled descriptions, ghosts, vivid imagery, delusions of grander, family amnesia. It's delicious.

The first Allende book that is set in the United States, The Infinite Plan tells the story of Gregory Reeves, from his impoverished childhood to his quest for love and acceptance in later years. A very good read!
