Isabel Allende's debut novel, The House of the Spirits, chronicles the saga of a powerful family of Latin American landowners. The despotic patriarch Esteban Trueba has built a private empire with an iron fist, which begins to falter over time amidst an explosive social environment, eventually leading the Trueba family toward a painful disintegration. Trapped in dramatic family relationships, the characters embody the social and spiritual tensions of an era spanning much of the 20th century, blending the everyday with the marvelous, love with revolution, and personal ideals with harsh political reality.
