Book Reviews of The House of the Spirits
Book Review: A book you will read over and over again...
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first Isabel Allende book I ever read. I first read it as a young girl, and since that time I have read it over again countless times. What amazes me most is that it still has the ability to transport me to another place another time. The language is beautiful and often poetic, and the charecters are real. I grew up surrounded by hispanic culture and Allende captures the spirituality, the superstitions and the sexual and age dynamics of that culture truthfully. Allende introduced me to the horrors of the Pinochet regime with this book, and thereby launched a career in learning as much about it as possible and working to bring justice to those his regime affected. This is one of those books that has the power to change you, to get under your skin, to open your eyes to another world and culture, and to the realities of the modern age.
