About this title

Review:

Praise for Isabel Allende:

‘A magical storyteller.’ Daily Mail

‘Allende’s writing is so vivid we hear the sounds, see the bright birds, smell and even taste the soft fruit.’ The Times

‘A wonderful, seemingly effortless storyteller; you feel yourself sink into the folds of her narrative with an almost childlike certainty that you're going to hear a good story well told.’ Irish Independent

‘Her prose is rich and magical, her characters vivid. She mixes violence and horror, love and humour, with more than a touch of genius.’ Mary Wesley

From the Publisher:

The perfect novel for everyone passionate about the Environment – especially the fate of the rainforests, and of so-called primitive peoples.
