The Stories of Eva Luna -- Isabel Allende

<b>Told in the voice of Isabel Allende's beloved character Eva Luna, a "distinctive, powerful, and haunting" (<i>Los Angeles Times</i>) collection of short fiction by one of the most iconic and acclaimed writers of our time.</b> <p/>Eva Luna is a young woman whose powers as a storyteller bring her friendship and love. Lying in bed with her European lover, refugee and journalist Rolf Carl , Eva answers his request for a story "you have never told anyone before" with these twenty-three samples of her vibrant artistry. Interweaving the real and the magical, she explores love, vengeance, compassion, and the strengths of women, creating a world that is at once poignantly familiar and intriguingly new. <p/>Rendered in her sumptuously imagined, uniquely magical style, <i>The Stories of Eva Luna</i> is the cornerstone of Allende's work. This treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories is a superb example of a writer working at the height of her powers.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Isabel Allende<br><b>Publisher:</b> Atria Books<br><b>Published:</b> 04/05/2016<br><b>Pages:</b> 288<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.10h x 5.30w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781501117138<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 8.8<br><b>Point Value:</b> 16<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>39767 / Stories of Eva Luna<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Isabel Allende is the author of "The House of the Spirits, Of Love and S
