Here's what the patron remembers:

The beginning is about a casket that gets opened to reveal a woman with long, log, long red hair wrapped around.

Then the book goes back in time to reveal her life.

Possibly takes place in South America.

Spirits may be involved.

Published in mid to late 90s.

Help?

This sounds a bit like The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende.

I was thinking perhaps Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but we don't have any of his books so I can't verify.
