The House of the Spirits brings to life the triumphs and tragedies of three generations of the Trueba family.

When their daughter, Blanca, embarks on a forbidden love affair in defiance of her implacable father, the result is an unexpected gift to Esteban: his adored granddaughter, Alba, a beautiful and strong-willed child who will lead her family and her country into a revolutionary future. One of the most important novels of the 20th century, The House of the Spirits is an enthralling sweeping that spans decades and lives, weaving the personal and the political into a universal story of love, magic, and fate. The lasting first novel that established Isabel Allende as one of the world’s most gifted and imaginative storytellers.
