lavendermarch's review against another edition
This was my first book by Isabel Allende and I hope that it's not the representative example of her writing, because I didn't particularly enjoy this. I DNFed on page 130 since the plot was very slow moving. It was also hard to connect with the characters since the narration kept jumping between timelines, each time covering very dark, depressing events. I suppose I'm the problem, but I thought that this was going to be a romance, which I didn't see any of by page 130. 2 stars.

Allende brings us another story of a resilient woman who lives her life on her own standards.
