The High Library Book Club will be meeting on Tuesday, January 24th at 7 pm in the Library Director's Conference room to discuss Isabel Allende's Daughter of Fortune. Please feel free to join them.
This is a girl's adventure story. It takes a feminist approach as Eliza leaves 19th century Valaparaiso society to follow her lover into gold-crazed California. She is befriended by a Chinese healer during her journey.
Does this book go too far as historical fiction? Does it convey the spirit, manners and social conditions of this past age with realistic detail and fidelity to historical fact?
