I have never read anything by Allende and was wondering if this would be the place to start? Do you think that it would be better to start with one of her work's of fiction, or one of her memoirs? I have heard really good things about her writing, but am really unsure of which book to start with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Elynia by David Michael Belczyk - 173 pages =-.

I've read three of her novels, so I really should read this one too. I really like her writing style. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Weekend Cooking: Learning French =-.

I've loved Allende since I read House of Spirits. Not a huge memoir reader, but this os one I'd be interested in. Thanks for the recommendation. .-= Stacy´s last blog ..The Rosy Rivalry Game =-.

You and I have similar taste. I fell in love with her writing after reading Daughters of Fortune also. I have not read Sum of Our Days or this book, but you have definitely reminded me that I am missing her storytelling. .-= Wisteria Leigh´s last blog ..Review--Once a Witch, by Carolyn MacCullough =-.

I've never read Isabella Allende, although her books sound interesting. Didn't she write a book based on Zorro? .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Instant classic: Harry Potter =-.

I’ve got to read one of Allende’s books. I listened to her on Blog Talk Radio and found her fascinating. I’m so glad to see this is good. I’m sure I’d love it since I’m a memoir junkie.

I have had Daughter of Fortune for YEARS and have yet to read it! And I also have Ines of my Soul. I really need to read both of them. I’d love to read this book as well. Why does it seem like there is never enough time to read all the books I want to read?!

I am so happy for the heads up on this one as I had no idea that she had a new book out. I have loved her fiction and I look forward to (eventually) reading this book about her life. .-= Nicole´s last blog ..Literary Feasts: Shiver, by Maggie Stiefvater =-.

I’m totally seconding Nymeth. Except I also have read and loved quite a bit of her fiction. I have her memoir Aphrodite on my Women Unbound list.

I read this earlier this year and I really loved it as well. Now I must give her fiction a try. .-= Nymeth´s last blog ..The Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien =-.
