Isabel Allende is a great writer and she shows this again in her last book Zorro. It's about a boy Diego (half white/half indian) who grows up together with his Indian 'brother'. When they're older they part for Barcelona where Diego will learn about love and justice and where he will be admitted to a secret society for Justice: that's where he will gets his name ZORRO. It's a book about life, poverty, justice and love: themes frequently found in Allende. Daily things which are developed more profoundly and thus makes it interesting to read. No thrilling, exciting, spectacular things, just a normal boy who lives his life. I would just say: read the book and you'll find out for yourself.
