Title: Ines of My Soul (not Allende's best work)
Product review: When I received this book as a gift, I was so happy and grateful. I have read many of Isabel Allende's books from House of Spirits, Daughter of Fortune, Tales of Eva Luna and others. I couldn't wait to start reading this one. I was so disappointed. Perhaps because Allende was trying to stay true to this historical character rather than letting her imagination take her where it wanted to go. This book is just plain boring. I'm sorry to say it about one of my favorite author's work. I wish her editors would have been honest with her and stated the truth. I read half way through the book hoping for it to get interesting. But it never did. I finally had to abandon it and picked up another book to read instead. Will it put me off reading Allende? Definitely not. She's done it so many times before, she can do it again. Besides, she's entitled to a dud or two. And who knows. Maybe it was just me. Others, evidenced by the other comments posted, loved this book.
