Latino Book Month Miercoles May 7th Pick :Eva Luna by Isabel Allende

11:44 H | Topics: Books - Chile - Literature - Women

evaluna.jpgI fell in love with Isabel Allende the summer before I went to Chile and I still lover her (although I enjoy her earlier works more than her later books). In Eva Luna, Allende weaved her story magic through the character of Eve, who is a storyteller herself. The storytelling is an act of escape, self-protection, and even revolution against the struggles Eva finds herself in, in an unnamed South American nation.

Just a beautiful book.
