I didn't like the characters, Violeta was void of emotions, and the book seemed to really drag. The story about her daughter at the end of the book didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the plot and felt unnecessary.

Das Buch hat mir gefallen, aber es fehlte mir an Tiefe.

Die Geschichte war spannend geschrieben und ich wollte immer weiterlesen, um zu erfahren, wie Violetas Leben weiterging. Nachdem ich es beendet habe, blieb ich aber mit gemischten Gefühlen zurück.

Ich finde Isabel Allende wollte die ganze Geschichte Chiles und alle Themen, die ihr wichtig sind in ein Buch pressen. Dabei wurde alles nur angerissen ohne in die Tiefe zu gehen. Dadurch wirkt das ganze Buch am Ende irgendwie oberflächlich.

It is a strange symmetry that I was born in one pandemic and will die during another.
