Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review The Long Petal of the Sea, a novel by Chilean-American writer Isabel Allende. I bought this second hand copy in Split this Summer, and read it in a heartbeat. Published in 2019, A Long Petal of the Sea is one of Allende's more recent works. Allende herself describes it in her Preface as 'a story of displacement and love, of sorrow and hope, of a couple trying to find their place in a world torn apart by violence'. The novel is told by fictional characters but it features real historical figures such as Pablo Neruda whose poetical description of Chile the author borrowed for the title of the novel.

Very cute. Where did you get your inspirations from?
ReplyDeletefor the first dress I had a very precise idea of a dress with colourful feathers that I wish I could make:) the other two are just items of clothing and accessories I really like like midi skirts and berets. I guess I get inspired everywhere and I always have a lot of ideas of what could look well together.
DeletePretty and bright illustrations, I always have a really good, positive feeling after scrolling down your artworks, because they are so original and spontaneous.
ReplyDeletethank you Alexandra:)
