Title: Extremely disappointing
Product review: Having read most of Allende's works, I found 'Inez of My Soul' very disppointing. Her characters were not to be embraced; flat and not endearing and/or people you can hate. Ines takes off from Spain in search of her husband... (remember her character in Daughter of Fortune?) sounds familiar to me. Ines becomes the main backbone of the settlers while searching for Chilean settlements.. nurse/doctor, provider of food/crops, wise and compassionate yet turns a blind eye to suffering of the Indians. What do you think the reference to 9/11 was all about? My book club LOVED Dauther of Fortune and Portrait in Sepia, but I certainly will NOT recommend this book. I felt she recreated too many instances from Daughter of Fortune. The book is tedious and violent beyond necessity.
