For fans of House of the Spirits, this book may be a bit of a disappointment. While Allende's characteristic style of weaving narratives from different family members over time is still enjoyable, I found the story slow, predictable, and heavy handed. That said, I still listened to the very end in the hopes of hearing more about the fate of Ichimei, but the ending disappointed. The narrator was fine for the character of Alma, but overall didn't add to my experience of the story.
