Very well written. I would have never thought I would enjoy this story had I been given a synopsis of the whole book. Isabel Allende's writing is so compelling with enough quirks and strangeness to her characters to keep it very entertaining.

I should be able to finish this by the year end. Then I will have Spanish heritage award and hit 30 books read.

The story is very well written. The saga has gone from mother to daughter and just passed onto granddaughter. Clara has just passed away of old age which is a surprise considering her curse. I guess her parents being decapitated was enough punishment.

Really well written. Characters are fleshed out. Not sure where the actual plot is going but I'm along for the ride.

Wow, the second chapter really picks up. What a bastard Esteban is. But also provides for the peasants. I haven't read something as detailed as House of the Spirits in ages.

I'm setting myself up the challenge of reading House of the Spirits before new year's day to round out my total books for the year to 30 and to also get the Hispanic heritage award on Goodreads for this month.
Additionally, this is Crouch Ends Waterstones book club reading for January and is at the end of the month which will suit me better for my surgeries healing.
