sofipitch's review against another edition

reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I love Allende's writing style and I listened to this book to the end but it doesn't really feel like it brings anything new or memorable to the table, at least from an author like her
