I LOVE ISABEL ALLENDE. I'd

I LOVE ISABEL ALLENDE. I'd have to put my vote in for <i>Daughter of Fortune</i>, though. It tells the story of a Chilean noble, Eliza, searching through California for her lover, who went to search for gold. She is accompanied by her Chinese immigrant friend, Tao Chi'en. It talks a lot about the various cultures, and also "women's place" in Californian society. Plus, there is really awesome gender-bending. It is... utterly fantastic and I really love this book and its author!
