This book came to me highly recommended by friends, and as you can see is highly regarded by many. However, for me at midway through I stopped to decide to continue or not. It’s we’ll written yes, somewhat engaging, and is a genre I usually enjoy and relate to. But it was not sufficiently engaging to sustain my interest, and I became bored w/ and disappointed by the principal male character. So I stopped there, and will try another Allende
before rendering a final verdict.
