Loved this! I love how it all connected together and how each of the characters, despite coming  from different backgrounds, endured similar painful experiences and emotions during their lives without even realising it.

In some ways, a very different kind of story for Allende, and in others, still so clearly her voice writing about the issues important to her through multiple generations. An important story that needed to be told.
