Eva Luna from Isabel Allende

The last book that I read, and that I like the most, was “Eva Luna”. This book was written by one of my favorite novelist Isabel Allende. She is an important Chilean writer how also have written lots of other books that I like such as “La casa de los espiritus”, “Retrato en sepia”, “Hija de la fortuna”, and others.

This book tells the story of Eva from her childhood to her adulthood. She was the daughter of a woman how worked on the house of a doctor, and when she was very child, at the age of 4, her mother die, leaving her at the care of her godmother, a woman how haven’t got maternal instinct. Her godmother immediately sends her to work to another place. In this way she passes from house to house working as a maid. In this way the time passes till she reaches adolescence, and for twist of fate, she starts wandering the streets of Santiago, were she met Riad Halabi, how takes here to live to his house and adopt her as his daughter. In this place, Eva lives her best times of her adolescence. After a setback she returns to the capital, were she pass through lots of adventures of life and finally she find the true love.

This story is very beautiful because, although Eva is really poor and hasn’t got protective factors, she does succeed on her life. During her life there is lot of mystery and magic that she builds, and in this way Eva overcomes all the obstacles emerging.
