This book was fantastic. Rich with current issues mixed with intrigue, romance and mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve recommended it to others already.

Entertaining while being educational and thought provoking! Characters were well developed and believable and formed a bond the reader roots for.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A big disappointment
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017*

There are three Key People in this book: Richard Bowmaster is an NYU professor in his mid-sixties who lives in Brooklyn.  He’s lonely, avoids physical contact, and does not drink because he’s an alcoholic.  Richard is a widower and has a widower father named Joseph who was a Jew in Germany but managed to get out of the country in time. Lucia Maraz is an NYU teacher who is Richard’s tenant.  She lives below him, is in her early sixties, and has occasional sex fantasies about Richard.  She once touched him accidentally but he didn’t like it.  She is originally from Chile and there is a chapter that deals with the September 11, 1973 overthrow of Salvador Allende’s government.  (The author is well qualified to write about this because she lived in Santiago during this time and her father was a first cousin to Salvador Allende.) Evelyn Ortega is an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala.  She’s a young woman who could probably be the daughter of Richard and Lucia if they had produced a child.  Richard rear ends her car in an accident and gets Lucia to help translate their conversation.  After I read about Evelyn I thought the plot might move toward Richard & Lucia getting together and pseudo-adopting Evelyn as their proxy daughter.  Wrong. We learn all of this about the three characters in the first seventy pages.  Then the plot begins with a stunning event.  Now we’re getting somewhere, I thought. Whoops, wrong again.  We eventually get to page 245 and three more chapters on the characters’ background follow.  At this point I almost tossed the book.  But I was getting close to the end so I decided to stick with it and find out what happens.  Unfortunately, it ended with a whimper instead of a bang. Overall I thought this novel was seriously unbalanced with much more character background than plot substance.  I’ve read a number of Allende’s earlier books and was disappointed with this one.
