She Writes With Magic Ink
What a collection of characters! An illiterate woman who sells words. A man obsessed with a little girl. A woman whose marriage was based on letters written by the wrong man. A woman who spends her life waiting for revenge. A rich man who keeps a girl prisoner. Rascals trying to break into society. A lonely dictator. Invisible Indians. Every character is flawed in some terrible way, and yet, somehow appealing. Somehow you become attached to each of the characters and you want to hear their stories. There is something absolutely magical about these stories by Isabel Allende, stories you can't put down.

What is her secret? I don't know. I think she writes with magic ink. But, there is something else, too. Her characters never give up. No matter how bad, how flawed, how actually depraved they may be, they keep struggling toward the light. And so, each of us, with our own struggle to escape from darkness, can relate to these people and their stories.

These are some of the finest stories I have ever read. I recommend the collection most highly. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.

The stories fo Eva Luna is an exciting short story book written by Isabel Allende. This book contains various short stories about love, adventure, and mystery. Allende has a great way with words. She makes you want to open the book and never stop reading. I definitely recommend this novel to everyone. Her captivating work becomes interesting to the reader because she writes about her deepest and darkest secrets. These stories are about peasants and particians, revolutionairies and tyrants, seductress and fortune tellers.
