ena Manta, la reina de la narrativa femenina en Grecia, donde ha seducido a más de un millón y medio de lectores, se presenta ante el público en castellano con esta exótica saga familiar, ambientada en el país heleno, sobre cinco mujeres dispuestas a desafiar las convenciones para encontrar la felicidad.

This book kept my attention. I liked how each of the sisters' stories were told and they were all different and interesting. I am not sure I appreciated the amount of hardships all of the sisters suffered. I was really hoping that someone would have had a somewhat happy story. In the end it was a bit much for my tastes. I also felt like the author was trying to make a point about following your dreams ending in disaster and I am not sure that the message sits right with me. Despite these complaints, I was drawn into each story and the book was an engaging read. ( )

The House by the River was an easy read but completely unrealistic; five beautiful sisters each more beautiful than the other. Like a Greek myth, each sister learns a lesson. What I did not understand how these sisters became so vain? Well, it is only a book. ( )

Easy enjoyable read. A good traveling book. Need to suspend belief a bit ( )

Excellent! 5 girls leave their home in Greece searching for another life. The only thing that challenged me with the book is that I found it hard to keep track of who was who. Loved it!! ( )
