I'd give it 4.5 stars, if I could. Just as good as Daughter of Fortune, if not better.

I enjoyed it, but it doesn't have the power of Allende's earlier work. Many of the characters seem unfinished or incomplete. The story is engaging. I admit that I breezed through it in 2 days, which means that either a) I could have savored it a bit more and enjoyed it differently, OR b) that the book is simple and didn't merit a deeper reading.
