《幽靈之家》以一個未具名的拉丁美洲國家為背景，跨越三代人，是一部恢弘的史詩，講述了一個驕傲而充滿激情的家庭、秘密的愛情和暴力革命。
As a girl, Clara del Valle can read fortunes, make objects move as if they had lives of their own, and predict the future.

Set in an unnamed Latin American country over three generations, The House of the Spirits is a magnificent epic of a proud and passionate family, secret loves and violent revolution.
