House of Spirits- Isabel Allende
This novel is continually challenged on basis of being “immoral” and “sexually depraved.” The book follows 4 generations of women in the Trueba family, and their hopes, spiritual yearnings and connections with each other. The Chilean Allende, recently won the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Prize, for her “magical and spellbinding story telling.” Previous winners have been Paulo Coehlo and J.K. Rowling, so she must be doing something right.
