Review: It's a hard feat to accurately and perceptively delve into the differing perspectives of slavery. Allende does so with ease without overpowering one with philosophical rhetoric. The attention to detail, particularly when it came to the reasonings and intimate thoughts of women were great. I loved the historical tidbits without the boring history lesson lectures.

Review: Isabelle sets her story in Haiti, an epoch and location I know little of. The sheer brutality that went on towards the slaves is shocking, and even more shocking is the fact that you know it took place. This is a fairly fast paced adventure that follows the life of the main heroine, a plantation slave. Its also fascinating as it follows a real time in history. a good return to form for Allende, I enjoyed this alot. Whilst it does not touch "House of the Spirits", its still a cracking read and a great history lesson
