Maya’s Notebook made me fall in love again with Chile. Escaping from her difficult life in the US, Maya’s grandmother sends her to an island off the coast of Chile. The description of the place and people in the unique style of Isabel Allende gave the feeling of being really there all the time.
Maya’s story was strange for me since my adolescence was not turbulent. However, Maya is such a strong character that she came under my skin and at times I wanted to slap her, or hug her, or both at the same time. I could not put the book down; I wanted to see what Maya would become.
