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?
