Journal Entry 5 by carlissa from Miami, Florida USA on Monday, May 24, 2010

Finally got around to listening to this audio! I liked the narrator, Blair Brown. The history of the founding of Santiago, Chile was interesting, but the military conquests were gruesome and somewhat boring.

Journal Entry 8 by grubsneerg at Greensburg, Pennsylvania USA on Monday, July 04, 2011

Although I have heard of Isabel Allende and even have released a couple of her books before, this is the first I have actually read. Now I am wishing I had those books back, so I could enjoy them as much as I did this one. I like historical fiction, where real-life, often boring facts and figures are given life with three-dimensional characters, dialogue, and descriptive settings. The story of the founding of the nation of Chile is probably one I never would have sought out on my own, but Allende made it fascinating, and made me feel as if I were there among the conquistadors in the 16th century. Blair Brown did a wonderful job capturing Inés Suárez's voice as she tells her life story to her daughter, Isabel.

I'll most likely put this in the next audio bookbox that lands on my doorstep.

Journal Entry 12 by keno-mom at Georgetown, Texas USA on Tuesday, April 24, 2012

I took from BigJohn's audio CD bookbox since I've never read Isabel Allende and I think I'll give it a try since I do like historical fiction. I'll return to BigJohn's bookbox after reading.
