Book Reviews of House of the Spirits
Book Review: Tragedy, passion and romance
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many other Latin American authors, Allende manages to combine delight with tragedy, cruelty with passion, humour with romance. She provides an account of three generations of one family, detailing their lives and desires, and their supernatural strengths and human failings. I loved this book, and found myself glued until the very end. I believe a film has been made of the book, but I don't want to see it. It would only spoil it.
