I made Chile my next stop in my literary adventure, with the novel Eva Luna by Chilean author Isabel Allende. It follows the life of a young, orphaned storyteller who navigates poverty, political turmoil, and personal adventures in a South American country, using her imagination and storytelling skills to survive and empower herself.

It had lots of unexpected twists and turns and dealt with modern issues as well.

My current stop in Around the World in 80 Books is China, with the novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See, which I just started.

What are you reading? What country should I pick next?
