“Lots of short stories ... enjoyed some ... others not so much ... felt they were too short ... prefer more character development - even in a short story. I much prefer her longer novels.”

“I actually prefer this to the original novel Eva Luna. Here Allende's pen has less to prove and so she is free to cover more ground in these romantic and sorrowful tales. The amazing variety of characters makes for rich and poignant stories.”
