In association with the KANSAS HUMANITIES COUNCIL, Atchison Library is hosting a series of book talks featuring WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD. This month we will feature Denise Lowe and her discussion of the New York Times Best Seller "The House of the Spirits."

In one of the most important and beloved Latin American works of the twentieth century, Isabel Allende weaves a luminous tapestry of three generations of the Trueba family, revealing both triumphs and tragedies. Here is patriarch Esteban, whose wild desires and political machinations are tempered only by his love for his ethereal wife, Clara, a woman touched by an otherworldly hand. Their daughter, Blanca, whose forbidden love for a man Esteban has deemed unworthy infuriates her father, yet will produce his greatest joy: his granddaughter Alba, a beautiful, ambitious girl who will lead the family and their country into a revolutionary future.
