I just read and had a discussion on this book for my 400 level COLLEGE class. I can't imagine reading this in high school.

I will say that, while I don't know if all of the events the author wrote on are true, the book was based on a period she really did live through, and could have very well been in Alba's position, had her life gone differently. It's much more about how the dominant narrative (In this case, the wealthy male's) often glosses over, excuses, and straight-out excludes the ugly bits of history. Pay attention to which narrator tells which stories, and it'll give a hint as to why they may be as explicit/gross as they are.

Also, I don't really think you can say that Communism was thrown in there for shock value, considering that's what actually happened historically.

Yeah, that's kind of weird. It's like reading a book about WWII and complaining that fascism was just thrown in for shock value.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I was really wondering how she so totally missed the context of the narrative if she was reading for class...

It's common to have it here in the last year of high school, but for the life of me, I can't see a high school in ANY other country listing this as an obligatory reading :/ You need a ton of background info to really get it, and specially in the US, I don't think House of the Spirits would be required unless in an Latin American Lit/Studies course.

It was an obligatory read for at least one (last year in high-school) class in Finland last year. I have no idea why but after reading the secret and the comments, I'm seriously side-eyeing the teacher.

/a librarian who had to find 20 or so of those books
