Inés of My Soul

Inés of My Soul, Isabel Allende, 2006, Harper Collins. Genre: Historical Fiction. 313 pages. Finished 7/9/12.


And now, a word from the LesBlog Editorial Board: With this novel, we celebrate our 50th book of the Quest.  Happy 50th, Gentle Reader!


LesOpinion: This tale of the Spanish invasion of Chile in 1540 is told from the point of view of the historical figure, Inés Suárez. If you ever sat through a tedious history class memorizing dates and names of dead European men, Allende's romantic, tragic, horrifying, and heartbreaking novel will make up for those lost years of your life.

I regret two things: that this novel came to an end, and that it's the last unread Allende on the shelves of the S. White Dickinson. Onward, Gentle Reader.

Dear Ronnie,

Welcome to the LesBlog. I believe myself to be in good company, if you loved this book, too. I consider you a finer arbiter of literary taste than the LesBlog Editorial Board.
