A review by notesofacrocodile
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
5.0
holy fuck, i loved this.
an expansive generational saga that has its history and events primarily traced through three generations of women with captivating stories, all amidst a boiling political landscape. i felt so many emotions all in a rush, so much so that even now as i try to summon coherent thoughts to describe how i felt about this novel, it is all too chaotic to explain. isabel allende's writing is as raw and beautiful and haunting and touching as ever.
