Daughter of Fortune is a book that shows Isabelle Allende's incredible gift for storytelling,. It tells of an orphan girl raised in Chile by an upper class family, then stealing away on a ship to follow her lover to California at the height of the Gold Rush of 1849, in the process she undergoes many changes.
An epic novel, well written and filled with wonderful characters, history, adventure, romance, friendship, family, self-discovery and all you could want from a great story, it's one of Allende's best.
A great read.
