Daughter of Fortune: A Novel (P.S.) 12 reviews Isabel Allende
Harper Perennial, 2006
Another Masterpiece from Allende
+ Definitely worth reading! + Isabel is in a new groove, and I love it
I read one of Isabel Allende's novels for a high school English class, and I never imagined that she would become one of my favorite authors. Her writing style is so detailed and engrossing that you cannot help but feel completely immersed in the world she has created. The characters are so dynamic ...

Harvest Books, 2003
This Book is So Underrated and Misunderstood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ At over 800 pages, this book still was not long enough + Memorable and lush...
