Product Description
Desarrollada en un país latinamericano sin nombre que vive bajo el dominio de una dictadura militar, la segunda, hipnotizante, novela de Allende cuenta la historia de una mujer y un hombre que están destinados, bajo las circunstancias más espeluzantes, a compartir un amor excepcional.Irene Beltrán es fruto de la clase alta, una bien intencionada, aunque algo ingenua, reportera en una revista para mujeres. Francisco Leal, hijo de exiliados españoles, es un fotógrafo partidario de la resistencia clandestina. Durante el curso de un trabajo rutinario, esta pareja descubre, literalmente, un crimen que resulta en desafío---y provocación---al terrorismo oficial del gobierno, y que también pone en grave peligro sus vidas.

Como un documental

Este libro cuenta la historia de amor de dos jovenes durante una dictadura militar y yo creo que es como un documental porque sin duda, a una gran parte de la juventud de esa epoca le toco vivir algo parecido.
Yo vengo de un pais que ha sufrido varios anos de gobiernos de facto y, aunque yo recien nacia en esos tiempos, doy fe de que todo lo que cuenta este libro fue lamentablemente cierto. Hay heridas que nunca cierran...
Me gusto el final, pero me quede esperando algo mas.... creo que Isabel Allende le dejo esa tarea a lector.
Muy buen libro.

More Politics than Love
Rating  (3)

This is really more a political account of the events that happened in Chile during the military government of General Augusto Pinochet, than the love story between Francisco and Irene.
Sometimes there are to many details in the stories of oppresion and aprehended people.

This is the story of a reporter and a photographer investigating a terrible crime. Isabel Allende is a wonderful writer and this book proves it. Spellbinding and moving, this book is one of Allende's best. The language she uses is rich and the trama extremely interesting.

This is an excellent book that took me a long time to read not being a native speaker of spanish, but I found it to be one of the best books I have read in a foriegn language. Este libro es bueno, pero era muy dificil por alguna persona que no habla español como un nativo.
