I neglected to write a review when I read this a year and a half ago and I don’t remember enough of it now to comment.Â

Allende handled the historical context well, deftly placing her protagonists as Catalan refugees from the Spanish civil war who establish a new home in Chile, only for that to result in a dictatorship also. However, the setting is not the focus of the novel, with relationships being what anchors this novel.Â
