Product Description

Isabel Allende, una de las autoras mas respetadas de la lengua espanola, nos trae una magistral novela que narra la vida de Ines Suarez, una temeraria conquistadora que contribuyo a la fundacion de la patria chilena

Nacida en Espana, y proveniente de una familia pobre, Ines Suarez sobrevive a diario trabajando como costurera. Es el siglo dieciseis, y la conquista de America apenas comienza. Cuando un dia el esposo de Ines desaparece rumbo al Nuevo Mundo, ella aprovecha para partir en busca de el y escapar de la vida claustrofobica que lleva en su tierra natal. Tras el accidentado viaje que la lleva hasta el Peru, Ines se entera de que su esposo ha muerto en una batalla. Sin embargo, muy pronto da inicio a una apasionada relacion amorosa con el hombre que cambiara su vida por completo: Pedro de Valdivia, el valiente heroe de guerra y mariscal de Francisco Pizarro.

Valdivia suena con triunfar donde otros espanoles han fracasado, y lleva a cabo la conquista de Chile. Aunque se dice que en aquellas tierras no hay oro, y que los guerreros son feroces, esto inspira a Valdivia aun mas ya que lo que busca es el honor y la gloria. Juntos, los amantes fundaran la ciudad de Santiago y liberaran una guerra sangrienta contra los indigenas chilenos en una lucha que cambiara sus vidas para siempre.

Basada en una investigacion meticulosa, y contada con la pasion y el talento narrativo de Isabel Allende, Ines del Alma Mia es una obra de impresionante magnitud.

3 out of 5 stars This book is ok for someone who has no idea about the history of Chile.   May 29, 2008
This book is ok for someone who has no idea about the history of Chile.
The book was entertaining, but not believable, although the author says she did tons of research... that's questionable.
Rather than reading fake stuff about those years, I recommend to read another book, which is based on true facts and tells you a lot more of what people from Chile has gone through, and that's "Adios al septimo de linea", although is not intended to narrate the same historical period.
Enjoy!!



3 out of 5 stars Discover Chile's historiy with Ines del Alma mia   April 24, 2008
An interesting novel on the conquest of Chile. How learning about history with pleasure and suspense with the usual epic style of Isabel Allende.
A good idea for a present for Mothers' day!



5 out of 5 stars A trip to the past   March 30, 2008
This book is not only entretaining. The novelist took her time to do research to portrait accurately historical facts. Her account of the lives of Pedro de Valdivia and Ines Suarez take you to a trip to the past. You will feel like you are witnessing how the Spaniards came to America (the continent) all their struggles and suffering and also all their cruelty and greedyness. Superb !


5 out of 5 stars Ines del Alma Mia   January 18, 2008
It is a wonderful story conceived by the author about the biography of a woman during the conquest of Peru and Chile by the Spaniards. Some of the story is fiction but events surrounding the story is historical. She weaves history with fiction. Since historical events are true, it gives us an interesting way of learning about the conquest of the new world and the birth of new nations. Very interesting and well written.


5 out of 5 stars Ines' Strength   January 12, 2008
What a powerful story! Descriptive, and engaging from the begining. Some of the war scenes get a bit drawn out.

Ines' point of view is always refreshing.
