[edit] Importance scale

I've changed it from Mid to High. It's the main novel by Allende, one of the most popular and most translated southamerican authors, and one of the main figures of the Magic Realism genre. Plus it was brought to the cinema in a movie starred Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Winona Ryder, Glenn Close and Antonio Banderas.--Rataube 17:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plot/characters

Is it necessary to have analyses of the characters in this novel? Should we try to work it into a plot summary of the book instead? The summary reads like an overview of the book and its themes, and the actualy summary is hidden in the character list now. I'll work around this... Hurrah 05:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
