An Average Romance Novel with Toxic Errors

Ms. Allende was born and raised in S. America but chose to place her romance novel in San Francisco, California, in pre WWII and more modern times with a collection of characters all intended to create gripping empathy only her lack of knowledge for the times,, people and places creates so many errors, it was impossible to enjoy reading. There were huge errors throughout, and the writing was so manipulated, it lacked authenticity.

A love story that will keep you gripping. So many emotions throughout, but the ultimate sacrifice two people endured is what makes this novel a page turner! A must read!!!
