I love everything Allende has ever written and I recommend you read everything! This was touching. This is now one of my favorite books, EVER! I hung on every last word of this beautiful novel.
I love Allende and this story is peeled back in metaphorical brilliance. Interesting new work by a classic writer. Good plot but not as profound as her classic work
J I think it would be particularly interesting if you had a teen daughter
I've read two of Allende's novels now (this, and The House of the Spirits) and I'm smitten. Her narratives are sprawling, ever-changing, slightly magical, and imaginative. Her characters undergo constant, whirlwind twists of fate and chance. Eva Luna is central in the universe (of the novel and a...
Started last night... I rescued this book from the local transfer station(dump) used goods trailer. Never read any of this author's work but I've heard of her of course. Niece(once removed) of Salvador, socialist President of Chile. It didn't end well, of course. Chile, the craziest country in th...
15/2 - I know almost nothing about South American history - I have heard of the Aztecs and the Incas and some of the myths surrounding them (mostly from movies), but I don't know any of the historical figures of any past era (or really even, the current era). I have wanted to read an Isabel Alle...

تعبر إيزابيل الليندي عن كتاباتها قائلة: "أكتب لأتداوى"...وأنا أسير خلف كتاباتها من منطلق: "أقرأ لأتداوى"فهي الوحيدة القادرة في كل قراءة لها على أن تخرجني من عالمي إلى عالمها، بل عوالمها التي تنسجها ببراعة فائقة تسطر فيها لحكايات تلقي عليها ظلالا من الواقعية السحرية مغلفة بالحب، وإن كانت تنسجها في...
The Infinite Plan is different than Allende's other works: the protagonist, Gregory Reeves, is male and the setting is not in South America but in the United States. In addition, Allende attempts to cover broad historical time periods in the United States: the aftermath of World War II; the hippi...
The Kingdom of the Golden Dragon by bestselling author Isabel Allende is, quite simply put, a terribly bad book. The plot is utterly predictable and cliched; the characters uninteresting and uni-dimensional; and the writing bored me to tears (it may be better in the original Spanish, but I very ...

Neste livro, em vez de nos levar pela ficção com base em histórias da sua infância ou do seu país, Isabel Allende leva-nos mesmo pela história real da sua infância e do seu país, o Chile.Ler O meu país inventado ensina-nos mais sobre um país que, para os portugueses, está lá longe e não é relevan...
Rather than an objective evaluation of this novel as a work of literary fiction, this rating and review is more a reflection of how deeply it has continued to affect me over the years. Despite the differences of time and place, customs and traditions, exposure and beliefs, there is something very...
Arrivava un momento, a casa mia, quando ero più piccola, in cui bastava che andasse in onda una sigla televisiva per far sì che sulla cucina scendesse un’aura di sacertà senza eguali, era il momento in cui un cavallo nero impennava all’orizzonte e la sigla televisiva faceva così “Zorro, Zorro, ha...

إذ استمرت حياتك على هذا المنوال، ولدى بلوغك الخمسين حملت قلما وشحذت ذهنا لتكتب مذكراتك، فعن ماذا ستتمخض ذاكرتك؟ هل هناك مايستحق أن يقال؟ أم أن اﻷسطر ستنوء بالكثير من الروتين والعادات اليومية، الشهرية، السنوية؟ هل ستلهم حياتك أحدا أم ستجعل الآخرين يحمدون الله على العافية؟ بالنسبة لإيزابيل الليندي ...
