The novel I, just finished up reading is The House of The Spirits by
Isabel Allende.  This novel is filled with excitement and suspense that
will make you want to keep reading.  This novel is about a young girl
named Clara, whose priest accused her of being possessed by the devil.
 As Clara's life continues she keeps a journal explaining all of her
adventures in her life.  About 50 years later her husband Esteban
and granddaughter Alba look at all these different stories as clues that help put
 their family history together.  As a chosen one Clara has a talent that nobody else can
really understand.  Clara can see into the future, she can tell whats
going to happen before it actually does.  Although you may see this as
being extremely useful it can also cause huge problems in Clara's
life, she may be able to see the future but she can not change it.
After Clara's sister, Rosa is accidentally poisoned and dies Clara and
Esteban get married and shortly after have a child named Blanca.
After a trip, towards the end of the summer Clara then realizes she is
pregnant with twins, Nicholas and Jaime but soon finds out the
discouraging news that both her parents have been killed in a car
accident and will soon be buried...This is just a small amount of what
has happened in the novel, The House of The Spirits and without giving
the whole story away I just want to say I have really enjoyed this
story and would recommend it to anyone.
