Violeta is definitely my favourite of Allende’s books I’ve read so far. There beautiful and sad symmetry to being born at the height of the Spanish Flu Pandemic and dying during the Corona virus pandemic. Violeta’s 100 year life was one of family and turmoils and tragedy and love! I was hooked from the start and ended with tears in my eyes.
