Eva Luna (Spanish Language Edition) by Isabel Allende
Though not putting me in thrall, this book generally kept my attention. I enjoyed several of the characters without feeling that their portrayals were especially compelling or enlightening. The plot meandered and different episodes of Eva's life were often disjoint. Greater depth of characters, especially Eva herself, and plot continuity would be desirable. However, there were some great scenes, such as the visit of Riad's cousin.
Judging from one book, Allende seems to be a competent writer who will be more popular in this time frame than enduring.
