I picked this book up on the cheap at a secondhand bookstore with the intention of having a lightweight book that I wouldn‘t be sad to part with on vacation. I didn‘t read it quickly, so it made it home with me. The first 2/3 is slow, but I love Isabel Allende so it didn‘t bother me. It was actually nice to have a book on vacation that I didn‘t mind putting down. The last 1/3 was epic. Allende delivered. Not my fave by her but still a pick.
