BOOK CLUB: Violeta

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0893TqbWh6acJLxtfKhSve?si=dce26294e56f4bb4 Good morning, lovely book clubbers! This month, we read Violeta by New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende. This novel tells the epic story of Violeta del Valle, a woman whose life spans one hundred years and bears witness to the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century - the dissolution of a family fortune, a tempestuous marriage interspersed with love affairs, the machinations of family and friends over a century, all set against political upheaval in her homeland, an unnamed Latin American country. Today on the show, Mich, Zara and Annabelle chat about Isabel Allende’s legacy, standout characters, and the question on Mich’s mind: Is Violeta a good person? To read that Isabel Allende interview with Conversations on Love, head here. Got some thoughts on our April pick, ‘An American Marriage’ by Tayari Jones? We’re allllll ears (also, eyes, heads, bodies, etc etc) - join in the convo over on our Insta, @theshamelessbookclub.
