It is both an engrossing narrative and an impassioned testimony to the people of Chile…Because of its supple integration of the supernatural with the real, the book will be compared with Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude. “A runaway bestseller in Europe, this accomplished first novel is a richly symbolic family saga by the niece of Salvador Allende. Alexander Coleman, The New York Times Book Review It is also a moving and compelling first novel, translated with grace and accuracy by Magda Bogin.”
“Spectacular…An absorbing and distinguished work…A novel of peace and reconciliation… The House of the Spirits with its all-informing, generous, and humane sensibility, is a unique achievement, both personal witness and possible allegory of the past, present, and future of Latin America.
