love and shadows - isabel allende

comment:

full of adventure, a mixture of love and death. i have fallen to her style of writing, damn she's one good writer.

this was allende's second book, the one that put her in the place of latin american writer after the house of the spirit (i'm going to read this next). the background still in pinoche's regime, some of it actually based on her notes and events of the time. chilean history is quiet interesting, found lots of similarity with indonesian history:)



funny thing is, nathalia commented when i read the book "hey, i got a cousin back in chile name allende". when she and her mom drive me and hedy home last week, they speak chilean. i was quiet amazed:) i love how people speak spanish:))
