Review of 'Cuentos de Eva Luna / Stories of Eva Luna' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is another very engaging story by Isabel Allende. Eva Luna has been an orphan since her early childhood and by the time she comes of age, has lived several different lives. A gifted storyteller who can weave together many pasts and futures, she eventually discovers meaning and purpose for her talents, as well as a family of her own.

I found this story and its characters fascinating, with its touch of magical realism and realistic chaos. Most of the story takes place in an undisclosed country in South America, sometime in the late 1960's, I believe. The variety of cultures and the political warfare of the times make a compelling backdrop for Eva's story.

This was a good read!
