This novel is a classic, the family saga of 3 generations in Chile, which is timeless and universal, as relevant to current times as the time written about. "...[those] who had favored the coup were euphoric. At first they were a little shocked when they saw the consequences of their action....They thought the loss of democratic freedoms would be temporary....because it seemed a small price to pay for the defeat of Marxism."

No matter what level you read this story on, the author's magical writing style takes you to a place worthy of exploration and dreams.
