Isabel Allende's House of Spirits


The Friends Book Club meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month in the High Library Conference Room. Join them on Sept. 26th at 7pm as they discuss Isabel Allende's "House of the Spirits."
Here's a quick book review from Amazon. "In it, she chronicles the life of a family, as the patriarch grows from a child to an elder, with the world changing all around him while he tries to keep it the same. Through the lenses of the Trueba family, we follow the portion of Chilean history that eventually leads to the 1973 coup. Of course, the author is niece of Salvador Allende, the socialist president democratically elected that was removed from power and killed by Pinochet."
