Praise for Isabel Allende'sOf Love and Shadows:
[Allende] can just as deftly depict loving tenderness as convey the high fire of eroticism. And when youve successfully mingled sex and politics with a noble cause, how can you go wrong New York Times Book Review
Allende is a born storyteller Chicago Tribune
The people in Of Love and Shadows are real, their triumphs and defeats are so faithful to the truth of human existence, that we see the world in miniature. This is precisely what fiction should do Washington Post
We are by turns enchanted and entertained . . . Allende has married the world of magic and political evil most credibly LA Times Book Review
