This book was exactly what it was promising: page-turning rich historical drama.
The hundred years of Violeta flew by like a rocket. She lived in a tumultuous time, and her own story was intwined with main historical upheavals - pandemics, crises, political and natural disasters and unstoppable progress.
the format of the story isn't new - this sort of deathbed confession of a woman whose life was full of tragedies and toxic relationship seems familiar. But the author makes it very unique with colourful characters, magical realism and saturated historical background - not so much is known to a western reader about Latin America in general and Chilie in particular.
So, it was an informative as well as entertaining.
