Writing from the point of view of Inés Suárez, Allende immediately drew me into a world of Spanish conquistadors and the founding of Chile. I remembered reading and enjoying Daughter of Fortune by Allende several years ago, and I thought it was about time I read something else by this renowned author. I had no idea what the book was about when I picked it up. This book was amazing, fascinating, captivating, and a historical fiction treat I didn’t want to end. Kaye Oldner gave me Inés of My Soul by Isabel Allende several months ago, and I regret not reading it sooner.

I have had to select only what is essential, but I am confident that I have not betrayed the truth. Despite my desire to tell you everything, I have left out a lot. There are things I have been too busy to tell you, and if I do not write them down now I will carry them with me to the tomb. ![]()
