Product description

Review

"'This is a novel like the novels no one seems to write anymore: thick with plot and bristling with characters who play out their lives over three generations of conflict and reconciliation. A novel to be read for its brilliant craftsmanship and its narrative of inescapable power'" (El Pais, Madrid)

"'Intensely moving. Both entertaining and deeply serious'" (Evening Standard)

"'Announcing a truly great read: a novel thick and thrilling, full of fantasy, terror and wit, elaborately crafted yet serious and accurate in its historical and social observations'" (Die Welt, Berlin)

"'A remarkable achievement...a big book that can comprehend the history of a nation, and so many lives, with love'" (The Times)

From the Back Cover

Spanning four generations, Isabel Allende's magnificent family saga is populated by a memorable, often eccentric cast of characters. Together, men and women, spirits, the forces of nature, and of history, converge in an unforgettable, wholly absorbing and brilliantly realised novel that is as richly entertaining as it is a masterpiece of modern literature.
