Synopsis
The House of the Spirits (La casa de los espíritus, 1982) is the debut novel by Isabel Allende.

The novel was critically acclaimed around the world, 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.
