love, magic, mystery, dreams are intertwined with the violence and the horrors of war that led to the rise of Chile's Pinochet in this wonderful novel by Isabel Allende. At the "Tres Marias", a beautiful estate of properties of Esteban Trueba, are intertwined with the passions of the different actors: Clara, wife of the owner, spend their lives wrapped in memories, Ferula, Esteban's sister, dedicates her life to others; Blanca is in love with a servant of his father, Pedro that will take part in the guerrilla war of the revolution, Alba, her granddaughter, will instead face the dictatorship while Esteban discover, precisely because of the tragic political events of his country, first of all to love his family.
Isabel Allende wrote this novel that features various types of women. All women who came together to deal with numerous obstacles faced each reacting differently pain and taking charge of various difficulties. A book that also gives us an overview of what has been a historical reality important for Chile doubled by the dictatorship.
Clara, perhaps my favorite female figure is a woman who lives at the center of two worlds, the real and the spiritual difficult to be detected by anyone. A delicate and fragile-looking woman, but that carries within itself the strength of those who can read the human soul, and with a wise and sensitive, able to completely conquer the love of Esteban. She who see the future and talk with the spirits, unable to cope with his calmness and gentleness to violence of her husband and knows how to be a comfort in times of trouble inspiring confidence and protection. A woman who loves the memories, writing diaries not to forget, to keep alive in your mind at any time, journals that are then inherited by his daughter Clara Blanca as die prematurely because of an illness. 
Ferula , Esteban's sister is a woman who has always lived in the shadows. A woman misunderstood, used to help and be available to others, assist in every way to make his brother happy, from which it receives more brusque and prickly. Ferula is a weak and fragile woman who really tries to be accepted and welcomed by serving and devoting the lives of others. Clara finds herself in the gentle, for the first time, a source of affection, feels accepted and loved as a friend, a sister and unfortunately for this attachment will be driven out of his home by his brother, who then finds himself later died in a miserable solitude . 
Blanca, daughter of Esteban and Clara is a girl free, independent and creative. Pedro falls in love with the son of a laborer and Esteban long you attend irregularly until she becomes pregnant and the father discovered their relationship forces her to marry the French Count Jean De Satigny. Blanca is a woman Passionaria and resourceful, like Pedro in a straightforward manner and we will see later the arranged marriage and then decides to leave her husband and return home with the little Alba. An artist, a free spirit who can not bend to the will of others and trying to fight for what makes her happy and it's better for her. 
Alba, the daughter of Blanca and Pedro Tercero establishes a relationship with his grandfather Esteban strong and unique at the same time. In college, falls in love with Miguel, a revolutionary who involves her in protest against the conservative government and which will begin a sweeping report. Unfortunately because of this relationship began when the military regime's harsh crackdown on opponents Alba will stop here and we will see face to face with the historical and political reality which has traveled to Chile will be abused and raped and finds himself to appeal to all his strength to not let go, to fight and be able to get up after that. Is made to leave with the friends of her grandfather and will be the only one present at the death of his grandfather Esteban. - He suggested, moreover, to write a testimonial that could one day serve to unearth the terrible secret that he was living, so that the world was aware of the horror that went along with the peaceful and orderly existence of those who did not want to know, to those who could not remain anchored to the illusion of a normal life, of those could not deny that, of those who were floating above a sea of \u200b\u200bwailing, ignoring all the evidence, that a few blocks from their happy world there were others, those that survive or die on the dark side. -
A magical book, which contains special thousand emotions all at once. It is easy to identify with each woman in this story, because women are very real, and different facets, but at the same time all their own way to hide a strength and a unique determination. The constancy not to give up to go on whatever happens to be able to turn every experience, however hard and difficult to learn a lesson from which, in a wound that serves as a reminder e a dare forza. Ognuna ha le sue debolezze, le sue mancanze, ognuna ama con una passione ed un coraggio senza limiti, pronte spesso a sacrificarsi per questo sentimento persino ad annullarsi per un momento.
Mi piace perchè nonostante sia una storia inventata, in realtà in parte rispecchia alcuni dei mille colori di una donna, aspetti che spesso non vengono neanche valorizzati perchè considerati comuni ma che nascondo il perchè le donne sono poi così speciali. Auguri a tutte voi.
