Ines of My Soul - Isabel Allende

I received this book in error, and I have to admit, I would have never picked it up on my own. I must also admit that I was extremely and pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book!!! Allende has a writing style so smooth and passionate, that you can't help but be pulled in to the story. Love, lust, compassion, savagery and brutality all spill from these pages, which tell the story of the birth of the city of Santiago, Chile, from the perspective of the woman who helped found it. I would definitely recommend this book.
