I picked up Ines of My Soul because my sister had read another book by the same author, Isabel Allende. She had read Daughter of Fortune, and she said that was her favorite book in all the world. Ines of My Soul is about a Spanish conquistadora who came over to South America in the 1500's and ended up being sort of the lover of Pedro de Valdivia, who was one of the original conquistadores of Spain. It's actually historical fiction, so she -- I looked it up on Wikipedia, because after I'd read it, it was really interesting. She used historical legend or things that are alleged to have happened as events in her story, so this person, this conquistadora, really existed. The thing I liked most about the book is just Isabel Allende's way of weaving. She does such a good job of making so many characters so deep and complex with so little words and making their stories and their perspectives all fit together so carefully. I don't know how she does it. She's just a beautiful writer, and he characters are so interesting and believable, and you can really identify with them. I just think it's a beautiful book. The way -- the romance between the two of them was part of my favorite, and I don't want to tell my other favorite parts 'cause I'll give away the plot too much, but thee are some really interesting twists to this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history of any kind, really, but especially the old South American history. I would definitely give this book five out of five stars.
