I didn't give this an excellent rating simply because ...there are other Allende books I've enjoyed more and I didn't want to totally skew the scale, but this is elegantly written, a historical novel wherein you will be transported as well as enlightened. It's a great story about a very strong woman who really existed, which is always good to learn about. You cannot really go wrong with Isabel Allende, her writing is like following a stream, you float along and hardly know you had a destination until you get there.
I really enjoy Isabel Alliende`s books, and Ines of my... soul is no exception. It it written in a storyteller manner, paying attention to details, going back and forth and leaving room for the mystery like a good storyteller should. Ines of my Soul is a story of a woman both ordinary and extraordinary; it is so vivid that after reading this you would be wondering if such person really existed and did the author somehow possess the gift of time-traveling.
I love anything by Isabel Allende Couldn’t put it down....

ALLENDE CAPTIVATES HER READERS WITH THIS FICTIONAL VIEW O...F THIS HISTORIC PERSONALITY. WE WATCH INES GO THROUGH MANY TRIALS AND KEEP HOPING THAT SHE WILL COME OUT ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. ISABEL ALLENDE IS A FABOULOUS STORYTELLER. SHE APPEALS TO BOTH MALE AND FEMALE READERS AND NEVER LETS US DOWN.
