Review
Violeta was one of my most anticipated reads of 2022 and so far is one of my favorite books by Isabel Allende. The journey with Violeta is an amazing, heartwarming one.
Violeta’s life is shaped by some of the most important events in history; through her eyes, we see the fight for women’s rights, the rise and fall of tyrants and the experience of poverty and wealth, terrible losses, and immense joy, and not one but two pandemics.
The story Violeta tells Camilo is written with passion and humor: she loses everything—home, fortune, and family —and yet never stops fighting for what she believes in: love and family. Violeta’s story is full of life, color, and truth, a story that grabbed me from the first page and will stay with me for a long time.
So, if you’re looking for a sweeping and emotionally charged story with a strong female character, Isabel Allende’s latest novel is the perfect book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from PRH International through NetGalley. The opinions in this review are entirely my own.
