It’s never too late to read an authors first book.
I’ve love all of Isabelle Allende books. Discovered them / her at an author event at my local indie book store a few yrs ago . House of Spirits her first comes up in many of her interviews and now after finally getting time to read it I know why. The characters are well written and I Will remember them forever.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent novel!
This is a great novel, everyone should read it and acquaint themselves with the historical background. About the physical book, it arrived in good used shape, no markings, no underlinings. The envelope got very soiled with oil or grease though, and some of it passed through and soiled the front cover.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
