Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-24 00:00:00 Anthony Derisi I don't know why but I just couldn't get interested in this biography of a fascinating subject. Eva Peron was a saint to her people, especially the poor but basically started her life as a prostitute. She was married to one of the strong men dictators of South America. That should make for one interesting book......maybe it is but it did not resonate with me. Part of the problem might be that it is a translation which led to some pretty awkward sentences and grammar. The author seemed to be more interested in Evita's good looks and beautiful fashion sense than the government machinations in which she and her husband were involved. I really wanted to like it but it didn't quite make the grade.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-08-20 00:00:00 Kelly Pierce The translation is dicey, and the author is not exactly objective, but it's still a fascinating read.
