❤️This feeling when you finish reading a novel, let every word melt in your mouth, engrain the characters and the plot so that they’ll stick with you for a long time…This feeling is pure satisfaction to me! The best feeling I can get out of my reading experiences. 🧘♀�
Violeta is one of those novels that gave me this feeling.
💬An epic storytelling by Isabel Allende of melodramatic lives in a highly evocative, emotionally consuming and loving way embedding elements of magical realism. Sometimes she serves the cliché of Latin America with a meshwork of mafia and decadence, but it was an unarguable fit to the overall historical fiction, which I read with great pleasure.
🥂Cheers to the one and only Violeta who lived an unforgettable life from 1920 to 2020 filled with passion, lust, love, ambivalence, doubts, and fears.
📚Whilst this novel has been my first read by Allende, it won’t be my last one.
🌟Highly recommended!🌟 Easy 5 stars!

"Julián! I forgive your unfaithfulness and irresponsibility and poor manners with Violeta, BUT torturing your 2-years old son under the disguise of training him to become a man?!?!? I despise you! Where the heck do you get the notion of locking a little child in dark places, make him vomit and putting hot sauce on his lips you sickooo!!! Somebody kill this Julián!!!"

Great review. I read House of the Spirits many years ago and have been thinking of reading it again. But may read this first. It sounds so good and I know Allende can really weave a story.
Great review :) Can't wait to get around to this, you make it sound so good!!

A beautiful review, Nilguen! <3 <3 <3
Wow, such books are so rare and unforgettable! Glad this one worked wonderfully for you, Nilguen. Fab review!
Allende is such a great writer, all her works have such depth, she rarely disappoints. I'm reading a collection with a lot of her short stories and it's been very good so far. Wonderful review Nilguen!
