When General Franco and his Fascists succeed in overthrowing the government, hundreds of thousands are forced to flee in a treacherous journey over the mountains to the French border. Among them is Roser, a pregnant young widow, who finds her life intertwined with that of Victor Dalmau, an army doctor and the brother of her deceased love. In order to survive, the two must unite in a marriage neither of them desires.

The House of the Spirits brings to life the triumphs and tragedies of three generations of the Trueba family. The patriarch Esteban is a volatile, proud man whose voracious pursuit of political power is tempered only by his love for his delicate wife, Clara, a woman with a mystical connection to the spirit world. When their daughter, Blanca, embarks on a forbidden love affair in defiance of her implacable father, the result is an unexpected gift to Esteban.

As a child, she watched her mother, abandoned by her husband, provide for her three small children without “resources or voice.” Isabel became a fierce and defiant little girl, determined to fight for the life her mother couldn’t have.

When her daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, Isabel Allende began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. Bizarre ancestors are introduced; delightful and bitter childhood memories are shared; amazing anecdotes of youthful years are relived, and the most intimate secrets are quietly passed along. Like Allende’s first novel, The House of the Spirits, this powerful memoir is infused with the real, the magical, and the spiritual, creating a haunting, sad, and beautiful tale.

Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads the intentions of others. Her gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by. Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has been navigating life’s complexities all by herself. No matter—she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job.

Florence, the 1550s. Lucrezia, third daughter of the grand duke, is comfortable with her obscure place in the palazzo: free to wonder at its treasures, observe its clandestine workings, and to devote herself to her own artistic pursuits. But when her older sister dies on the eve of her wedding to the ruler of Ferrara, Moderna and Regio, Lucrezia is thrust unwittingly into the limelight: the duke is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father just as quick to accept on her behalf.

Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This sweeping novel from the author of A Long Petal of the Sea tells the epic story of Violeta Del Valle, a woman whose life spans one hundred years and bears witness to the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century.
“An immersive saga about a passion-filled life.”—People
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugar, Real Simple, Reader’s Digest
Violeta comes into the world on a stormy day in 1920, the first girl in a family with five boisterous sons. From the start, her life is marked by extraordinary events, for the ripples of the Great War are still being felt, even as the Spanish flu arrives on the shores of her South American homeland almost at the moment of her birth.
Through her father’s prescience, the family will come through that crisis unscathed, only to face a new one as the Great Depression transforms the genteel city life she has known. Her family loses everything and is forced to retreat to a wild and beautiful but remote part of the country. There, she will come of age, and her first suitor will come calling.
She tells her story in the form of a letter to someone she loves above all others, recounting times of devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs, poverty and wealth, terrible loss and immense joy. Her life is shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women’s rights, the rise and fall of tyrants, and ultimately not one, but two pandemics.
Through the eyes of a woman whose unforgettable passion, determination, and sense of humor carry her through a lifetime of upheaval, Isabel Allende once more brings us an epic that is both fiercely inspiring and deeply emotional.

A diary but not a diary
Looking at the other reviews, I realize that this was simply not my type of book. The faux style of a personal journal (or a letter to a grandson) might have been moderately interesting had it been an actual journal, but it is touted as a novel and hence supposed to be an invented story. That I didn’t care about. The narration was bland and emotionless. The protagonist was self serving, but not self reflective. She never seemed to regret any of her appalling decisions or take responsibility for them. My last book by Allende. Life is too short.

Loved From Beginning to End
Listening to this book transports me! I am already regretting that it's over and have re-listened to a few of the last chapters. The soothing voice of Yareli is rhythmic and comforting to my ears. Its so interesting to understand the strains of time through decades that I haven't lived, right up to her conclusion during our current a Covid pandemic. It makes it more understandable. I highly recommend this book! Keep in your library and re-read when you need a little softness in your life🤍

Not my favorite....
Apart from the idea that an old woman would be writing about her sex life to her grandson, I found this story increasingly unbelievable.as she faced issue after issue throughout her life.
While I can truly appreciate the strength women have, I couldn’t help but find this tale of a woman able to continue both her romantic life and her very physically adventurous activities well beyond her 80’s to be yet another example of the “perfection” held up to our gender as “ the way aging is”. Let’s face it, most of us can’t manage half the challenges this woman was supposedly able to rise to.
I found the narrator to be mechanical and a voice apart from the main character.
Not my favorite Allende book

Violeta
Do you know how awful it feels to finish a book you thoroughly enjoyed? Then next book will pale in comparison through no fault of the next writer’s, but few compare to this master storyteller. Few.
If you enjoy fiction featuring families and want an escape from the wretched world we live in, this is probably perfect for you.
Enjoy.

Obvious liberal agenda
The story would have been great if it weren’t for the obvious liberal agenda that was being pushed throughout the whole book. If you don’t want propaganda shoved down your throat every few minutes, maybe avoid this one!

Returning this to Audible
Maybe I’m just not in the mood. However, I can’t get into this story at all. Maybe it’s the translation! But it seems to me as if this book is written in bullet points. Very little description thus far. It is just not maintaining my interest.

Second try - still dissapointed
There are readers and there are story tellers. Unfortunately the narrator of this book is the former. The first time I tried to listen, I gave up. Given my love for the author, I tried again. I was able to get over my distaste for the narrator, thinking her weird inflection might be because English is her second language (just a guess) but it was still annoying. And to be fair, Allende didn't give her much to work with. The book is a meandering recollection and somewhat recycled from her previous works. This book felt like the author needed the requisite pandemic publication and threw this together. No real story line. Forgettable. 😒

Classic Allende story
This is a classic Isabel Allende story. Beautiful prose with a story that traces the history of a family. Although I liked the story, I wish she would vary her storylines just a bit more. I found this novel to be like contemporary version of “House of the Spirits.” It’s a great story, but it gets a little repetitive.

Violeta
I am trying to catch my breath the way I always find my self at the of an Isabel Allende novel. Perhaps I should have waited some time before reviewing this novel. It was an experience that Carries the reader through South American history, politics and culture
The work, suffering,and life of Violeta. She is a unique powerful woman but somehow we all can find part of our own lives and feelings in her powerful story. Don’t miss the experience.
