This book is ok for someone who has no idea about the history of Chile.

This book is ok for someone who has no idea about the history of Chile.
The book was entertaining, but not believable, although the author says she did tons of research... that's questionable.
Rather than reading fake stuff about those years, I recommend to read another book, which is based on true facts and tells you a lot more of what people from Chile has gone through, and that's "Adios al septimo de linea", although is not intended to narrate the same historical period.
Enjoy!!


A trip to the past

This book is not only entretaining. The novelist took her time to do research to portrait accurately historical facts. Her account of the lives of Pedro de Valdivia and Inés Suárez take you to a trip to the past. You will feel like you are witnessing how the Spaniards came to America (the continent) all their struggles and suffering and also all their cruelty and greedyness. Superb !

Inés' Strength

What a powerful story! Descriptive, and engaging from the begining. Some of the war scenes get a bit drawn out.

Ines' point of view is always refreshing.






Discover Chile's historiy with Ines del Alma mia

An interesting novel on the conquest of Chile. How learning about history with pleasure and suspense with the usual epic style of Isabel Allende.
A good idea for a present for Mothers' day!


Ines del Alma Mia

It is a wonderful story conceived by the author about the biography of a woman during the conquest of Peru and Chile by the Spaniards. Some of the story is fiction but events surrounding the story is historical. She weaves history with fiction. Since historical events are true, it gives us an interesting way of learning about the conquest of the new world and the birth of new nations. Very interesting and well written.

Isabel Allende, una de las autoras más respetadas de la lengua española, nos trae una magistral novela que narra la vida de Inés Suárez, una temeraria conquistadora que contribuyó a la fundación de la patria chilena

Nacida en España, y proveniente de una familia pobre, Inés Suárez sobrevive a diario trabajando como costurera. Es el siglo dieciséis, y la conquista de América apenas comienza. Cuando un día el esposo de Inés desaparece rumbo al Nuevo Mundo, ella aprovecha para partir en busca de él y escapar de la vida claustrofóbica que lleva en su tierra natal. Tras el accidentado viaje que la lleva hasta el Perú, Inés se entera de que su esposo ha muerto en una batalla. Sin embargo, muy pronto da inicio a una apasionada relación amorosa con el hombre que cambiará su vida por completo: Pedro de Valdivia, el valiente héroe de guerra y mariscal de Francisco Pizarro.

Valdivia sueña con triunfar donde otros españoles han fracasado, y lleva a cabo la conquista de Chile. Aunque se dice que en aquellas tierras no hay oro, y que los guerreros son feroces, esto inspira a Valdivia aun más ya que lo que busca es el honor y la gloria. Juntos, los amantes fundarán la ciudad de Santiago y liberarán una guerra sangrienta contra los indígenas chilenos en una lucha que cambiará sus vidas para siempre.

Basada en una investigación meticulosa, y contada con la pasión y el talento narrativo de Isabel Allende, Inés del Alma Mía es una obra de impresionante magnitud.
