Eva Luna by Isabel Allende In Eva Luna Isabel Allende writes the elegantly entertaining story of a girl who becomes a woman and a boy who becomes a man in a tumultuous Spanish world. Allende wraps you simultaneously in the survival struggles of both Rolf and Eva, following his tan-green thread of life and her thread, light blue and flecked with white, up to when and where the two threads twist and bend and then finally separate. Eva's life fills with colorful characters as she bounces from house to house, home to home, and life to life. At every stop she creates a family, whether one of a Turkish merchant and his wife, a saint-worshipping god, mother, or a spirited transsexual. In contrast, Rolf spends his early life living in terror of his father and his later life traveling the country as a journalist. Eva, with her imaginative mind, and Rolf, with his camera and film, searching their lives, hearts, and country, will enthrall you with their story and draw you into their lives.
