I read this for book club but unfortunately had to miss the discussion (I was away on vacation). I've never read Allende before, but I was very pleased with my first encounter.
Ines of My Soul is a historical novel featuring Ines de Suarez, a Spanish conquistadora who participated in the conquest of Chile. It's engaging and very well written (the language is beautiful). I'm looking forward to reading more of Allende's novels.
