About this Event

Riverstone Around the Globe is a new book club at Squirrel Hill which centralizes global literatures, works in translation, and highlights from the Booker and International Booker prizes. Whether you’re looking to broaden your literary horizons, or otherwise want to read novels you wouldn’t normally find all over social media, this book club is a great introduction to books outside the States.

This book club is led by Riverstone bookseller, Sarah.

The November pick is House of Mist by Maria Louisa Bombal. Need to order a copy? You can do so .

About the book:

House of Mist stands as one of the first South American novels written in the style that was later called magical realism. Of this story of a young bride struggling with her marriage to an aloof landowner—and the mysteries surrounding their life together—in a house deep in the lush Chilean woods, Penelope Mesic wrote in the Chicago Tribune that Bombal showed "bold disregard for simple realism in favor of a heightened reality in which the external world reflects the internal truth of the characters' feeling . . . mingling . . . fantasy, memory and event."
"One of the most outstanding representations of the avant-garde in Latin America." -Women Writers of Spanish America

About the author:

Maria Luisa Bombal (1910-80) was a Chilean novelist and short story writer. Among her novels is The Shrouded Woman.
