Title: An excellent story
Product review: Allende recounts the compelling story of the Chilean immigrant Aurora del Valle, who gradually uncovers the secrets of her strange childhood, the identity of her father, and the reason for her being haunted by recurring nightmares. As is usual for Allende, the characters are the lifeblood of a complex story, and all of them are as eccentric as they are lovable, continuously getting themselves in and out of trouble in innumerable, fascinating ways. Allende tends to treat Aurora's distant relatives with a great deal of imagination and panache, while the latter half of the book somewhat degenerates to a predictable love story. But it is still a fine novel. Read it and enjoy.
