'The House of the Spirits' by Isabel Allende

The Chilean Allende's first novel and the one which shot her to international fame. Begun as a letter to her dying grandfather the novel becomes a family saga of mesmerising power, often compared with the Colombian Marquez' 'A Hundred Years of Solitude'. Come and enjoy a work of South American passion and beauty, enticing in its intimacy and its confirmation of the 'unseen worlds' of everything.
