Magical and a literary masterpiece

This is one of the best books of the twentieth Century to me. It is written in the backdrop of twentieth Century Chilean history and focuses on the Trueba family. Each member of that family is introduced in the initial chapters and eventually the reader understands them as if they are people from real life. The narrative is simply breathtaking and character development crosses all standards. Wrapped in magic realism, this is a story of Chilian history, of family, of individualism, of life and of the genetics of prejudices and fears. The story will keep you glued to your seat and the ending is going to make you smile and cry at the same time. A masterpiece of twentieth Century literature.

Entrancing...

This is an amazing book. I picked it up not knowing what to expect and found myself unable to put it down. Allende is a marvelous writer, though this is the first and only book of hers I have read (so far). I loved knowing the characters of this story and was sad to finish reading it. I wasn't ready to leave their family.

finally got around to reading one of the best books in the world

The feminine magic element of the book is completely essential to the flavor and wonder of this novel.
I rented a movie but it totally leaves that out(or what was included made it seem creepy or scary), which made me wonder how they could even make a film of the same title
because that was what it was all about..passing that magic through the generations of women.
Anyhow the book is so beautiful and affirming of intuition and survival. Too much to say about this book...the peasant medicine wisdom of indegenous ..the oppression..the karma of the Americas north and south..class race the myth of superiority...just nails it..captures this truth.
