Portrait in Sepia: A Novel

fucking beautiful

2/3 książki to zachwyt. Pozostała 1/3 lekko mnie zawiodła (w porównaniu do poprzedniej części). Tak czy siak – ta seria to cudo

Este debe ser el mejor libro de Allende que he leído.

I would rate this 3.5 stars because it was a step up from the first book in the trilogy. I appreciate the pacing knowing it's by Isabel Allende. I love the characters this time around compared to the first book.

Counting this as my Chile book around the world...although I've read many that can count for it.

Really thoroughly enjoyed this one and it was a classic Allende novel where I can get completely swept up in the characters and the setting and settle in.

Quite a ride!

Portrait in Sepia is as enthralling as any American soap opera, with beautiful women and reluctant lovers and mismatched husbands and wives. Portrait in Sepia is more than a great tale with intriguing characters and inventive plot twists, though. It's also a thoughtful look at the blending of cultures and ethnicities and the difficulties and joys the blending brings.

Note: I'd not realized Sepia is a sequel; I wish I'd known this and read Daughter of Fortune first.
