Amy H. (I am an Allende fanatic and love all her books. But I really think her earlier ones, such as the EVA LUNA books and this one, "OF LOVE AND SHADOWS" are her best.
A great read and historically accurate of the horrors in Chile after we (the CIA) asassinated the democratically elected, president Allende.
A haunting novel set against a backdrop of revolution in Latin America (a thinly disguised Chile).
A classic, I have been holding on to this since college because I did not want to let it go.
