One of the most successful Latin American novelists of all time, author Isabel Allende made her literary debut with this magnificent saga of love, magic and revolution and we are thrilled to bring it to the Book-It stage in a world premiere adaptation. The multi-generational story of the Trueba family weaves together an intricate tale of Chilean history, from the turn of the 20th-century through the upheaval of the 1970s, all relayed through the technicolor lens of magic realism. Join us as we journey south for what Booklist terms "a splendid and fantastic meditation on a people and a nation."

“Mesmerizing... A novel of force and charm.” -- The Washington Post

UNTIL THAT DAY Seņor and Seņora del Valle had never given a name to the eccentricities of their youngest daughter... Clara's strangeness was simply an attribute, like Luis's limp or Rosa's beauty. It was true there had been times, just as they were about to sit down to dinner, when the saltcellar would suddenly begin to shake and move among the plates and goblets without any visible source of energy or illusionist's trick...
