“One of the most important novels of the twentieth century, The House of the Spirits is an enthralling epic that spans decades and lives, weaving the personal and the political into a universal story of love, magic, and fate.”—Simon & Schuster, Inc.

“Spectacular…An absorbing and distinguished work…The House of the Spirits with its all-informing, generous, and humane sensibility, is a unique achievement, both personal witness and possible allegory of the past, present, and future of Latin America.” —The New York Times Book Review

“What is most captivating about this novel is its expansiveness, its inclusiveness, its humanity, its ability to compress so much life between the covers of a single book.” —The Washington Post
