Publisher's Note Allende continues to weave the magic of her critically acclaimed novel EVA LUNA in this superb collection of stories. Lying in bed with her European lover, refugee and journalist Rolf Carle, Eva answers his request for a story "you have never told anyone before" with these twenty-three interwoven samples of her vibrant, enchanting artistry. Here are stories of peasants and patricians, revolutionaries and tyrants, seductresses and fortune tellers all rendered in the sumptuously imagined, uniquely magical style of one of the world's finest, most stunningly original writers.
Industry Reviews "Allende again shows her brilliance as a storyteller... grips us from first sentence to last." San Francisco Chronicle
"Absolute magic on every level." Cosmopolitan
