Has anyone else read her? I just finished House of the Spirits, Eva Luna, and Fortunes Daughter. I have a tendency to read all of an authors works when I discover I like them. What were your favorite books by her? Has anyone seen the movie adaptation of House of the Spirits?

This is the prettiest carrier, and fit my shoulders and figure (at 5'6") much better than the Ergo. I got it when my daughter was about nine months, two years ago - it doesn't appear to have...

This potty is great - excellent value & performance! (plus it's cute!) My 9 month old DS took to it right away. He is a big boy (30 in. tall - feet not quite on floor - & 27 lbs.) and this is...

This book feels good in your hands. The paper is heavyweight, and the illustrations flow perfectly.

I've read and enjoyed her books. I think House of the Spirits was my favorite. The movie is ok. I actually watched the movie a couple of years before I read the book.

I didn't care for Fortune's Daughter as much as her other books, but I really enjoyed The House of the Spirits, The Infinite Plan and Eva Luna. I started Portrait in Sepia andOf Love and Shadows but I didn't get through them.

My favorites are Eva Luna and House of Spirits. She also has a great cookbook, Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses. Lots of cute illustrations (satyrs and nymphs chasing each other across the pages) and recipes and stories...oh the stories are wonderful.
I think Allende is an amazing woman.

I love her. I have read most of her books. I just finished Zorro. My favorities
are probably House of the Spirits and Paula. Don't read Paula until you have read her previous books before it.
I was disapointed by the Movie House of the spirits. The Love and Shadows film was a little better but not much.
Oh I forgot to add that she written children's books,for older children, but I have not read them yet since my son is only 9.
