Meet the unforgettable Eva Luna -- Lover, Writer, Revolutionary and Storyteller. "Sumptuous . . . Eva Luna is a tale that spans forty years and moves from a surreal jungle to a modern-day urban capital where even the most apolitical are driven to risky anti-government activities. Allende's canvas is large, busy, full of feeling, incident and rich detail."

Typical Isabel Allende writing, very descriptive, interesting story. Sometime the characters a bit too descriptive. If you have read Allende you know that she spins a great yarn!

From the author of House of Spirits..Eva Luna is a lover, writer, revolutionary and storyteller. A contemporary Scheherazade, wide eyed South American teller of tales. Triumphs over harsh reality with her imagination! Strange, fantastical, sensuous and erotic.

Allende is more of a poet than a writer.

This is a early novel for this author. I like her latter novels better,but it was a interesting read. It has lots of twists and turns for the characters.
