i loved this book. the writing was incredible, i felt for the characters, i cried and i laughed. i love the format for this book
it reads like letters to an undisclosed person until well into half of the book probably!
i loved the full circle moments where all of my questions are answered. i was inspired by violeta's candid storytelling, i appreciate the historical background of that period of time. violeta sharing and honoring people she loved by sharing their stories is so powerful and moving and captivating. slow start, once i got into it i really liked it! i will be reading more isabel allende books in the future<3
