Bambal, Maria Luisa. House
of Mist and The Shrouded Woman. Univ. Of Texas, 1995.
This novel first
published in 1938 made Maria Luisa Bambal on of the most popular writers in
South America. It not only juxtaposes the supernatural realm of death with
concrete reality but also put forward a woman’s view of life in Chile. It is
relevant to many other countries. At her funeral Ana Maria sees many people associated with her. In death she doesn’t have the worries of everyday life, and can contemplate her different experiences. She now comprehends the real meaning of her existence.: a passionate lover, a selfish woman, a naive girl, a strict mother and an intuitive human being with mystical doubts about God.
