The House of the Spirits

Writer's picture: Kathy MillerKathy Miller

Isabel Allende, 1985

Date read: 6/8/24


This novel reminded me of Midnight's Children or the books by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Magical realism is what it is called.


I really enjoyed this novel and how it followed several generations of a family. Like a record of generational trauma. It's very very good.


Length: 368 in hardcover

Classic: yes!
