It's my first time reading Isabel Allende in English, but I must say that the translation is so good that the magic is the same.
Eva Luna tells the fantastic story of the life of a storyteller that goes through so many tales during her life that she ends up with rich material for her stories. Isabel Allende's writing style makes everything magical, and sometimes during the reading, I wondered if she isn't Eva Luna herself.
The book is a collection of fantastic stories that happen to the main character and the people that pass through her life. There's even a transgender character in the book (written in 1987!) that is beautifully portraited.
