so-soLearned a bit about the Chilean Civil War but otherwise not a memorable book.
pickA library book club pick and one which reminds me why I belong to book groups.
I've read one other by Allende which was also a book club pick!
This was an interesting story, good character relationships and historically important. I appreciated finding out about the Spanish civil war and subsequent emigration.
I do find it's told rather than shown which made some of it feel forced along.
pick4,5/5 ⭐

pickThis one was a very quick read, a story that reads like a long poem. Our protagonist is heartbroken over a betrayal by his father, and at the same time growing into a man himself. Such a short novella, with all the impacts of life woven into it: heartbreak, laughter, coming of age, and in the end; making the right decisions for the ones we love.
