By Michael Silverblatt • • 29m Listen"There's no such thing as unconditional love in a marriage," says Isabel Allende. And yet, this is her most romantic book – a return to the possibility of emotional relationships and how they can break down. The Japanese Lover is unusual for Allende because the are no Latino characters. Instead, she brings her emotional wisdom to the love lives of three generations of post World War II Asian and Jewish characters.
