I need to talk about this book. This magic book.
I started this book when I was 15. I loved it, I thought it was funny the protagonist had my name, but I left it by the half of the book.
This summer, now that 5 years have passed, I decided to start again the book and finish it. This book has accompanied me all summer, because I would travel and party alot, so I couldn't read every day. But this book has made me feel that I'm at HOME while I was reading it, I felt safe. It is such an intense story, full of magic, mystery, romance, pain, disgust, shame, hate, political conflict. All those elements writen by 4 generations from the beginning of XX century in Chile.
This book has a movie where amazing actors like Winona Ryder and Meryl Streep work in it. But for me, the most accurate thing from the movie is the music. Created by the prodigious Hans Zimmer, it captures perfectly the dramatic and intense, warm but yet cold, atmosphere of the story.
Loved it. Crying right now. It's a very important book that can change the way you see some things from your daily life. Please read it.
Kisses, Passarino.
