clarissacardona 's review for:

The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
5.0

A tempestuous story spanning three generations of the Trueba/del Valle family. It’s hard to describe, as the book covers so much, but it is filled loves, grief, hate, greed, politics, etc. You see the family deal with personal and political problems during the country’s turmoil with the subtly of magical realism that has become so prominent in Latin American literature.

My introduction to Isabel Allende was a great one. Not a pretty, but still wonderful story.
