What Members Thought
I love Isabel Allende's books and this one is no different. A cast of characters that are unique, that you root for, that have gone through terrible adversity and overcome it. Having a mother in assisted living, I understood what the seniors were going through and thoroughly enjoyed learning their history... sad though much of it was. Another wonderful dramatic tale from Allende.

This is a quiet little novel about dis/connection, privilege, sacrifice, and aging. There's nothing groundbreaking and very few sympathetic characters, but it's a nice character study and the writing is quite lyrical. My book club's discussion helped add a lot of value to this read. I know a lot of people love Allende, but I think I've read her once, I'm glad for it, and I won't be rushing to read her again.
