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. Yes, it was Neruda who described Chile as the long petal of the sea. Despite being a minor character, the famous Novel winning poet at times plays a key part in the novel's plot, from organizing the flight of Spanish refuges to embodying Chile's national spirit.

ReplyDeleteI know your love about painting with coffee, you really know how to do it right:) That sketch is so original and special, as always. The of the most exciting thing about it that you used coffee to create it:))) By the way, "kava" is Croatian language, right? In Serbia language is different? I must say I like some Serbian songs, so I'm curious is this the same language or very different one?
ReplyDeleteI think in Serbian it is kafa. Serbian and Croatian are similar, most languages in our branch (southern branch) of Slavic languages are alike in many ways.
DeleteCool look!)))
