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.

Ese libro intentó cubrir demasiado. Aprecié que Samuel y Anita experimentan cosas similares en situaciones y épocas diferentes, pero no sentí el impacto. La mayoría del libro no incluye conversaciones ni los pensamientos de los personajes, solo párrafos largos de información. Siento que nunca llegué a conocer a los personajes más allá de la superficie, y por eso no logré conectar a nivel emocional.

La prosa de Allende es simplemente mágica, adoro como me transporta con sus descripciones. Aunque siento que muchos conceptos del libro se quedaron un poco cortos en explicacion y parecieron solo mencionados por no dejar, los comentarios políticos y sociales que hace Allende son precisos y los comparto completamente. Definitivamente era el libro que necesitaba leer para seguir mi investigación de tesis, ya sea en novela o en trabajo de titulación, los temas de los que trata el libro merecen ser documentados y publicados.
