About this book
Clara del Valle can move objects with her mind and foresee deaths; her marriage to the fierce, land-hungry Esteban Trueba begins a family chronicle that unfolds across a century in an unnamed South American country. Daughters and granddaughters inherit her green hair, her notebooks and her stubbornness, while political upheaval closes in on the big house on the corner. Allende blends household ghosts and prophecy with a clear-eyed account of class, patriarchy and revolution. Warm, sprawling and full of unforgettable women, it is the kind of world a reader can disappear into for weeks.
