A review by sarabrennan
The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende

3.0

Clara won the idgaf war. I really, really enjoyed this and it almost feels unjust to not be giving it four stars. However, the ending just didn’t work well for me. Tránsito just gets Alba out no problem… The End! And Esteban gets a … redemption arc? I don’t think so pal! But nearly everything before that I loved (only thing I didn’t was the Jean de Satigny stuff cause what’s the point of a forced wedding if she can leave with no issue whatsoever?). Liked the lesbian sister a lot. Writing was fab. Justice for Chile! Also this is the last book I will ever read for Uni… wtf
