I finally started cracking my Christmas books. I started this one in the airport on the way to NYC for a girl's weekend. It was slow going at first, but the writing was beautiful (as it always is with Allende). I was sucked back into the missionary / settlement life in California. Then it took a turn - taking the story to Spain. This book was so much fun - watching the upbringing that results in the Zorro we all have heard of. I even finished it before heading home. Good thing I travel with girl's who read, they understood.
My only complaint was the lack of chapters. Yes, there were breaks but I really am a chapter kind of girl.
It's on the shelf and available for lending out. I highly recommend it.
