The Little Prince is one of my favorite all time books, I still have my copy from middle school. I completely forgot that it's a translation. I loved the movie Like Water for Chocolate and it's been long enough that I don't quite remember it, perfect for reading the book. Janice, the description of The Carnivorous Lamb felt like my reading day--Rabbit is Rich, the Amazon debacle and translated works thrown in a blender, out comes The Carnivorous Lamb!

It was made into a movie several years ago, so it shouldn't be too hard to find in english. This is one of my favorites. Beautifully written, very romantic. oh, also try “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquirel (Mexican). It was made into a movie several years ago, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find in english.

I've only read "House of the Spirits" myself which is very enjoyable. A lot of symbolism. And most of her work is very well reviewed and available in English. Isabel Allende is a Chilean author.
