The House of the Spirits— Isabel Allende

PRELOVED

The despotic patriarch Esteban Trueba has built a private empire with an iron fist, an empire that begins to falter with the passage of time and an explosive social environment. Finally, the patriarch's personal decadence will drag the Trueba family into a painful disintegration. Trapped in dramatic family relationships, the characters in this powerful novel embody the social and spiritual tensions of an era that spans much of the 20th century.

With impeccable narrative rhythm and great historical lucidity, Isabel Allende has created a fresco in which the everyday coexists with the marvelous, love with revolution, and personal ideals with harsh political reality.
