The House of the Spirits (La Casa de los Espíritus, 1982) is a debut novel by Isabel Allende. Initially, the novel was rejected by several Spanish-language publishers, but became an instant best seller when published in Barcelona in 1982. The novel was critically acclaimed around the world[1], and catapulted Allende to literary stardom. That same year, the novel was named Best Novel of the Year in Chile, and she received the country's Panorama Literario award.[2] The novel has been translated to over 20 languages worldwide.[3]

The House of the Spirits is Isabel Allende's restoration of that past, though not simply from a nostalgic bias. Her novel lives in dozens of vivid scenes - often delightfully comic despite the narrative's ultimately dark thrust - as well as in the wonderful characters who flow in and out of her story. The result is a truly enchanting world where hope is never lost.
