This story is so complex yet it ties back to itself time and time again. I love Allende's ability to take a niche plot line and extend it into something approachable and engaging.

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

This book went places I was not expecting and was ultimately very satisfying. There were themes of colonialism and feminism that nevertheless worked, in part due to the gold rush setting.
