I find her the most tragic character and the one most buried beneath layers of complexity, even though she isn't ever really the novel's main focus: I hate how every generation is about sadness, and how everything bad that can happen, happens to the Trueba/Del Valle family.

San Jose Mercury News (Morning Finaled.). p.3.Si os soy sincero, pese a que al final me ha encantando la obra y ha sido muy gratificante leerlo, me costó mucho meterme en la historia. Los dos o tres primeros capítulos me dejaron un poco desconcertado. Quizás tenía unas ideas preconcebidas sobra el libro y no me esperaba un protagonista tan detestable como Esteban Trueba. Es un villano hecho protagonista y a veces las barbaridades que hacía me costaba asimilarlas, sobre todo cuando las narraba en primera persona. Pero en cuanto empezaron a aparecer los personajes femeninos, que hay muchos y bastante interesantes, se relajo esto y ya solo fue disfrute.
