Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

The narrator of these 23 stories is Eva herself, who tells them to entertain her lover. Magic realism, romance, the turbulent political background of South America all feature, but Allende never loses sight of readability and a good yarn. (Kirkus UK)
