| | I remember reading this when I was 15 or so. In Spanish it's called La casa de los espiritus. From then I read lots and lots of Allende. My other favorite is Eva Luna and historias de Eva Luna. El Plan infinito is also a powerful novel. Years ago she was signing books at a local bookstores and I got a bunch of signed copies.

We only ever have the same book though, it's called Zorro and doesn't really sound like my kind of book. I will definitely look for this one though. <3
Actually I just remembered that there's a reading copy of Zorro in the staff room. I shall pilfer it.

| | | Ok, I finished it last night and PHEW.
I get pissed off when I have to read translations because I feel like I'm not really getting it 'for real', you know, the writers actual words.Which is a bit stupid I suppose but ugh.
Anyway you guys should all read this book.
