The House of The Spirits

The House of The Spirits, by Isabel Allende is a captivating book numbering 433 pages. It tells the story of several generations of the Trueba family living through many political upheavals in Chile. The reason I like this book is because of the atmosphere it creates. The story is narrated in such a way that I feel like I'm in the warm, mystical, south American world of the characters. The images the author uses are easily imagined and many remain in my mind. The story is exciting and imaginative
