This is only the second collection of short stories that I've ever read in order, cover to cover, if that tells you anything. (  ) donp | Nov 17, 2008 |  I didn't finish it. I just don't like these short stories like I liked her novels. missmath144 | Mar 5, 2008 | Some really good stories about life in South-America, mostly in the past. It's a book to dip into, not to try and read in one go, because there are too many very different stories. Some are OK, some are brilliant. (  ) judithann | Mar 2, 2008 | Generally good vignettes, but they lack a lot of the layered appeal of her longer works. (  ) aneel | May 10, 2007 | Not as good as Eva Luna but still worth reading.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743217187, Paperback)Isabel Allende is one of the world's most beloved authors. In 1988, she introduced the world to Eva Luna in a novel of the same name that recounted the adventurous life of a young Latin American woman whose powers as a storyteller bring her friendship and love. Retruning to this tale, Allende presents The Stories of Eva Luna, a treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories.Lying in bed with her European lover, refugee and journalist Rolf Carle, Eva answers hes request for a story "you have never told anyone before" with these twenty-three samples of her vibrant artistry. Interweaving the real and the magical, she explores love, vengeance, compassion, and the strenghts of women, creating a world that is at once poingnantly familiar and intriguingly new. Rendered in the sumptuously imagined, uniquely magical style of one of the world's most stunning writers, The Stories of Eva Luna is the conerstone of Allende's work. It is not to be missed by anyone -- whether a devotee of Ms. Allende's oeuvre or a new acquaintance to her work.
