ReviewsPraise for Isabel Allende "Powerful . . .sharply observant, witty and eloquent." -- The New York Times "Allende blends fact and fiction, love and war, and juxtaposes the past with the present, meaning that as you read her escapist tales, you develop a richer understanding of the world you inhabit." -- Vogue "Allende is a genius." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "A master storyteller." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Allende is a real talent, an amazingly prolific one. In her stories there are palpable life and death risks, the risks of passionate love, the risks of passionate belief, of convictions and honor." -- The Washington Post "What a joy it must be to come upon Allende for the first time. She knows that all stories are love stories, and the greatest love stories are told by time ."--Colum McCann "Isabel Allende is a grand storyteller who writes with surpassing compassion and insight. Her place as an icon of world literature was secured long ago. She will be celebrated, by readers and writers alike, for generations to come." --Khaled Hosseini
