Just finished. It's the second book in a 2 book series. I really enjoyed the first book Daughter of Fortune. There were so many stories entwined but easy to follow. Portrait in Sepia continues and you see the generations.
I enjoyed the book very much ,though one graphic sex scene was not to my liking. I think she could have made a point of what happened without detailing the act. Otherwise it was very interesting since I didn't know much about Chile and its history,so I liked it. I'm not sure if I would recommend it to younger readers.
I loved learning and about the Chinese and Chilean's cultures and feeling such compassion and caring for them. This is a wonderful book.
