Query: An Epic Novel, a 3.8 on a scale of 1 to 5

Isabel Allende's "Daughter of Fortune," is a beautifully rendered, impressive novel. Allende tells the tale of a young Chilean orphan, Eliza Sommers, who follows her lover to California during the Gold Rush. She travels incognito and lives in a rough world of single men and ladies of the evening. Allende's far flung canvas captures mid 19th century Chile and California. Her world is one of raw beauty and rough living.Eliza makes both a physical and a spiritual journey as she eventually must decide what "following one's heart" really means.I enjoyed this book though I felt at times Allende lost her way. Overall though, I commend her effort.I would recommend this book to individuals who enjoy fiction on historical eras, particularly "woman themed." (It was an Oprah Book.) I would not recommend this book to those inviduals who need plots and settings served up quickly and neatly.overall, it was a worthwhile read for me.
