Isabel Allende is a gifted teller of tales. She writes with beautiful language introducing you to unforgetable characters and transporting you to far away tropical lands. By telling simple stories of every day life, and grand stories of war and its wastes, she infuses each story with mystical occurences that leave the reader wondering if we couldn't all harness our love and compassion to combat the greed and corruption that befalls us with equally miraculous results.
