Description

Take a sneak peek

In Of Love and Shadows, Allende depicts an often dark portrait of life lived under a fictional totalitarian regime. The repetitive allusion to shadows is suggestive of the dominance of secrecy and fear in silencing individual opposition and repressing freedom of thought. However, those who act righteously, and are guided by their moral conscience in defying the authority of the military in seeking the truth, offer hope and even when victory is an impossibility, their commitment to the pursuit of the truth can be regarded as triumphant.
