Robert Daguillard’s Reviews > Daughter of Fortune > Status Update

Isabel Allende is a frustrating author. The problem with “Daughter of Fortune” is, I’m having a devilishly hard time caring about any of these characters. It’s not clear why I should follow their adventures, their tales of heartbreak, their determination to make the best of a new start in the America’s. I don’t know whether I’ll even read this one to the end.
