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...

Add me to the list of people who appreciate Faber's vividly-detailed writing! The setting of this story is so well-described that, for a few nights, I actually dreamt that I was in London's streets in 1875. Just that alone gets my 5 stars. This book also leaves a lasting impression of the three ...
