Allende has a magical, lyrical style that lifts her stories into a realm of their own, and she is not an easy read. Then along comes this trilogy, of which this is the last, and I wondered what had happened to her. I discovered she wrote these for teenagers but the message of hope and fulfilment struck a chord with adults too. They are simply written with a strong moral message. Interesting.
Comparison: Philip Pullman, C S Lewis, Paulo Coelho.
