A review by alingtori
A Long Petal of the Sea, by Isabel Allende
emotional
hopeful
informative
sad
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
Oh man, Isabel Allende does it again.
While set in the 20th century, reading A Long Petal of the Sea feels very recent. This story remains relevant until today as families are still forced to leave their country in fear for their lives. Extremist rhetoric is still being circulated, and gross inequality is still prevalent.
