The Stories Of Eva Luna Book Review. The Chilean author presents her stories through the age-old device used by Scheherazade. However my favorite story Wicked Girl was in the beginning of the book.
The writing is fluid and evocative but the stories for the most part are slight often seem familiar and rely too much on a style that is becoming as formulaic as that of popular fiction. This treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories is a superb example of a writer working at the height of her powers. The original novel Eva Luna was published in 1987.
The House of Spirits 1985 which are set in nameless Latin.
This treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories is a superb example of a writer working at the height of her powers. Of Love and Shadows 1987. A collection of over twenty short stories each tale unabashedly vies for the readers attention like the glittering gifts of competing suitors. Rendered in her sumptuously imagined uniquely magical style The Stories of Eva Luna is the cornerstone of Allendes work.
