Another country for #ReadingTheAmericas2023

These were interesting stories from women in #Chile and some that fell a little flat. The connecting thread wasn‘t fleshed out well, and the final story was a bit diluted because it was told secondhand.

I listened to this book over the course of a few days, usually listening to one woman‘s story and then taking a break before listening to the next. I found some stories more interesting than others, but I don‘t know that any of them will really stay with me. I liked that it shared experiences from a variety of women in Chile.

In this book I visited the country of Chili. This story is told by 10 different women. It was an interesting read as each story was told by each individual woman as they experienced life. Add the cultural differences and it‘s a truly absorbing read. #travelthroughbooks #mayreading #chili

This book covers ten women‘s lives in Chile. None of the stories particularly stuck with me. I guess I don‘t understand the culture. Still, I am glad that I read it.

Starting this since it‘s too dark in my room to read a regular book, and I can‘t find my book light. Thank goodness for my phone!

Loving this book!

I‘m loving all the literary references in this! Allende is to be expected, given her father‘s political situation, but it also references Margaret Atwood and others.

Another great quote from this Chilean novel.

There are so many good quotes in this book! It‘s a series of ten women telling their stories, and I‘m loving it.

Speaking of death: “It‘s strange that the only certainty life gives us is one we fear so much.”

My newest eBook for lunch hour reading. Has anyone else read this one?

A poignant, thoughtful, and moving look deep into the lives of nine women and the woman that brought them to this healing point in their lives.

This is really a set of short stories about ten women in Chile. I liked how they were connected, yet gave insight into a wide range of experiences the women had. I loved learning about Chile and seeing life from so many women‘s perspectives.

In my opinion, the set-up for the book was chosen nicely to display the range of women's experiences in Chile, so that it still made sense to all be in one book. The "Ten Women" are actually nine women's stories and they are connected by the same therapist and the tenth women is the therapist's story. It's almost a collection of short stories that are connected.

You shall live in the cloud forever!
