This book is hard
The story in this books is the tale old as time I. Our Latin America life. The poor and the rich, the hand of the US government where is not needed. Political violence. Violence against women. Love hate and everything in between. This is classic and when you read it you know the reason. At times it had my heart in a knot.

A Great Book from Chile
"La casa de los espíritus" (year 1982) by Isabel Allende is as wonderful a novel as its title promises. It traces the history Trueba family in Chile over four generations. The truly spritual person of the title is Clara del Valle Trueba of the second generation. It is she and her husband, Esteban Trueba, who build the big house on the corner, the house of the spirits, in Santiago, Chile, the capital. Clara is a clairvoyant and not only has quite a sense of the future, but also can actually make objects move with her spiritual gifts. She, in particular, has a three-legged stool that helps her come in touch with the spiritual word. In spite of the beauty of Clara's prophetic powers, Isabel Allende's novel is quite hard-hitting with the harshness and cruelty of Esteban Trueba's anger and the realism of the political events in Chile, particularly the establishment of dictatorial rule in the year 1973. Esteban's toughness results in him surviving into these times. He and his granddaughter, Alba, a philosophy student at the University of Santiago who is tortured by the military regime in the year 1973, narrate the story of the novel "la casa de los espíritus" from their own experiences, but also largely from the notebooks that Clara, Esteban's wife and Alba's grandmother, kept all her life to bear witness to the happenings around her. Isabel Allende's novel "la casa de los espíritus" is one of the best books that I have ever experienced. I read it in the original Spanish with the Magda Bogin English translation beside me. It was a delight to read Isabel Allende's novel in Spanish.

the root of The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. Not a difficult read or skim if you can drift well in English, contrary to all the cat fights on camera.
