The House of the Spirits begins by introducing readers to Severo and Nivea del Valle and two of their daughters: Rosa, the oldest, and Clara, the youngest. Clara, who has been denounced by the local priest as possessed by the devil, predicts a death in the del Valle family, which is tragically fulfilled when Rosa accidentally drinks poison meant for Severe. As a result of Rosa's death, her fiance Esteban Trueba, who has been working at the mines hoping to make his fortune, tells his sister Ferula that he will instead restore their family's estate, Tres Marias.
