IrishPenJen (United Kingdom) (2011/01/13):
Description:
Isabel Allende delves deep into the world she created in her previous book "Eva Luna" to bring her readers delightful tales of the strange joys and sadnesses of South America. Weaving stories of passion, sensitivity, love and death, she brings to life colourful characters against poor and barren landscapes.Review:
The narrator of these 23 stories is Eva herself, who tells them to entertain her lover. Magic realism, romance, the turbulent political background of South America all feature, but Allende never loses sight of readability and a good yarn. (Kirkus UK) Author's Biography:
Chilean novelist Isabel Allende is the author of the worldwide bestseller The House of Spirits, as well as the equally successful novels Of Love and Shadows and The Stories of Eva Luna. Initially a journalist, Allende began writing fiction in 1981. She now lives in California.
