This amazing novel chronicles the lives of three generations of the Trueba family, Esteban, the patriarch, Clara, his wife, Blanca, his daughter, and Alba, his beloved granddaughter, focusing primarily on the lives of the women. Their story is set against the culture and violent political history of Chile in the twentieth-century.

This novel will remind you of the intergenerational, quirky family of A Hundred Years of Solitude, but Allende’s story has a better sense of plot and less confusing characters.
