A review by nahyan
A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende

4.0

This epic story brilliantly portrayed the struggles and suffering caused by Spanish Civil war and civil unrest in Chile, while simultaneously weaving stunning characters and their complex relationships. I enjoyed learning about the rich history in both these countries while following Victor and Rosser’s journey. Seeing them navigate through their life and all their obstacles were truly inspirational. The only pitfall was at times I found the book a bit impersonal because it spanned such a long period of time and it’s third person narrative. Excited to read more of Isabel Allende’s works in the future!
