toc 's review for:
House of the Spirits
by Isabel Allende
Such a marvelous book! Full of life, love, death, hatred, and the common everyday. There were times I wanted to put it down, give it up, not finish it. Some if it seems just silly, some of it is just too painful to bear. But the last few pages push it beyond most things you will read and will render it one of your life's treasures. I knew nothing about this book or the author when I started it, suggested by my daughter which is very fitting, so even the author's short bio at the end transformed the book into something else. Magical realism, indeed!
