book fifty-eight: Daughter of Fortune


31 May 2015


Daughter of Fortune, by Isabel Allende, was originally published in Spanish.  The English translation was chosen for Oprah's bookclub, back when that was a thing.  That fact may or may not enthuse you.

We met at Tim and Wendy's place.

Jim brought the shortlist.

Leigha: 15 slow at first but picked up - really enjoyed it
Maree: 15 agreed with Leigha - the story really picked up once Eliza met Tao
Jim: 14
Mari: 15
Wendy: 14 liked the writing style
Tim: 15 enjoyed it despite himself

Average: 14.6
