Violeta by Isabel Allende
4.0
adventurous dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

Audiobook - I was unsure how this was going to translate well to audio as I heard this was mixed media being written in the form of letters but it wasn't bad at all! The beginning started off a little slow but then as Violetta grew, that's when the story really began. The story is over the course of 100 years when she was born during the Spanish flu up until 2020 with Covid. It was such a beautiful story and I highly recommend it.
