Isabel Allende’s debut novel — a first edition of the book that launched her career and helped define contemporary Latin American literature.

The House of the Spirits traces the intertwined lives of the Trueba family across generations, moving between the political and the uncanny with absolute confidence.

Memory, dictatorship, love, hauntings, and the long aftershock of history: this is a novel where the domestic and the mythic bleed into each other. A cornerstone of modern fiction and a beautiful copy for collectors.

First UK edition hardback, first impression, very good condition.
