Book Review of Eva Luna

Eva Luna
reviewed on + 28 more book reviews


A young girl is orphaned at an early age and bounces around her South American country with all kinds of characters-- benefactors and tormentors both. She survives and transforms her experiences thru story telling. Allende weaves Eva's story with the story of a Rolf Carle, a young man escaping Nazi Austria to make films. Wonderful lush language speaks for the cause of freedom.
