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

mysterious slow-paced

3.5

i know it feels a bit sacrilegious but i juuuust feel like a lot of the classics could stand an editor/to lose 100 pages? the last 90 or so pages of this are breathtaking and incredibly impactful, but it felt like a slog at times to get there. but i also need to know myself and that sweeping family epics over generations are just not really my jam.
