Violeta by Isabel Allende: Pandemics, Bad Boyfriends, and Other Flops
Manage episode 399595827 series 3533827
*DISCLAIMER: Apologies for the fuzzy audio portion! We had some technical difficulties while recording and also had to cut some of the intro/author bio as a result. Some other notes about Isabel Allende that we had to cut: she received a Presidential Medal of Honor and is an active philanthropist, having started a foundation after her daughter passed away (much like Violeta in the novel).*
In this episode of the podcast, we're headed to Chile to discuss Violeta by Isabel Allende, a journey through a woman's life, and our love of board games.
Five or Flop is a podcast dedicated to the best and worst historical fiction has to offer. Each week we'll be reading a new book and rating it on a scale of flop, fine, or five. The theme for Season One is Reading Around the World, and we'll be reading two books per continent.
