Told in the voice of Isabel Allende’s beloved character Eva Luna, a “distinctive, powerful, and haunting” (Los Angeles Times) collection of short fiction by one of the most iconic and acclaimed writers of our time.

Eva Luna is a young woman whose powers as a storyteller bring her friendship and love. Lying in bed with her European lover, refugee and journalist Rolf Carlé, Eva answers his request for a story “you have never told anyone before” with these twenty-three samples of her vibrant artistry. Interweaving the real and the magical, she explores love, vengeance, compassion, and the strengths of women, creating a world that is at once poignantly familiar and intriguingly new.

Rendered in her sumptuously imagined, uniquely magical style, The Stories of Eva Luna is the cornerstone of Allende’s work. This treasure trove of brilliantly crafted stories is a superb example of a writer working at the height of her powers.

Industry Reviews

"Eva Luna's stories are delicate, their images akin to poetry."--Barbara Kingsolver "New York Times " "Allende is a real talent, an amazingly prolific one. In her stories there are palpable life and death risks, the risks of passionate love, the risks of passionate belief, of convictions and honor."--Leigh Allison Wilson "The Washington Post " "Isabel Allende at her best. The twenty-three tales that compose the collection present a plethora of fascinating, robust characters."--Barbara Mujica "Americas " "Arresting and altogether distinctive, powerful and haunting; a collection to be read aloud and repeated for generations."--Elaine Kendall "The Los Angeles Times "
