ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits chronicles the tumultuous history of the del Valle-Trueba family across several generations. The narrative interweaves their personal dramas of love, loss, and complex relationships with the dramatic social and political shifts of an unnamed Latin American country. Strong-willed women like Clara the clairvoyant and her granddaughter Alba play central roles, navigating a world shaped by societal expectations and burgeoning political unrest. The story blends elements of magical realism with vivid portrayals of family dynamics, class divisions, and the impact of political ideology on individual lives.
