Interweaving the real and the magical, she explores love, vengeance, compassion, and the strengths of women, creating a world that is at once poignantly familiar and intriguingly new.Rendered in her sumptuously imagined, uniquely magical style, The Stories of Eva Luna is the cornerstone of Allendes work. This treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories is a superb example of a writer working at the height of her powers.
