“This book had a deep effect on me - I enjoyed the sensual nature of its world - its descriptive power can transport you to other worlds.”

La novela retoma muchos elementos del realismo mágico. Aunque la historia política del país, a través de varias décadas trazado de la mitad del siglo XX, tiene muchas semejanzas con país de origen de la autora, Chile, la geografía y el contexto social de la historia muestran una sociedad más similar a la de Venezuela, país en el que vivió tras exiliarse.
La protagonista nace en la morada de un excéntrico científico y es huérfana de madre desde muy joven. Trabaja desde muy joven como empleada doméstica. Su vida es una lucha constante por la supervivencia, aunque gracias a la ayuda de muchos personajes que aparecen en su vida, logra convertirse en una mujer madura e interesante.
Eva es capaz de inventar maravillosas historias lo que le permite entablar amistad con Humberto Naranjo.
Es la autor ficcional de Los cuentos de Eva Luna.

“I think I've started to read this book at least 5 times...I get bored after chapter 1...every time. This is what I was referring to when I said that some authors, over-visualize, the description is so long that you forget the first part of what you were trying to imagine in the first place.”
