My Name Is Emilia del Valle | Isabel Allende

so-so

I love the way Allende tells a story - making the political very personal. This isn‘t one of my favourites of hers. While I was riveted by the civil war scenes, the story ended abruptly. It felt unsatisfying.

so-so

I was on such a good streak reconnecting with Allende‘s writing in recent years, but this story was not a favorite. I felt it dragged on, I didn‘t feel a connection with any of the characters, and just found the overall story underwhelming.

I did not DNF‘d this out of loyalty to Allende, but it did take me almost 3 months to finish it. Overall, I‘m glad I read it, and hoping I have a better experience with her next book.

Not a favorite. The Chilean civil war was interesting; the rest not so much.

"The day I turned seven years old, April 14, 1873, my mother, Molly Walsh, dressed me in my Sunday best and brought me to Union Square to have my portrait taken."

I love these quiet stolen reading hours of early Sunday mornings.

TheKidUpstairs Early mornings before the test of the house wakes up are my favourite reading times! 4mo

When an Isabel Allende novel comes out, I don‘t even need to read the synopsis, I‘m ordering it immediately.

1. I just ordered the latest from my favorite author today (tagged).
2. I do enjoy reviewing books. I use Litsy mostly, occasionally I post reviews on IG, and I‘ll post reviews for career-related books on LinkedIn. I also write reviews (among other things) in a reading journal, but those are just for me.
