Author Bio
Isabel Allende
Chilean writer Isabel Allende was actually born in Peru, but raised in Chile. She is the niece of Salvador Allende, the president of Chile who was deposed by a U.S.-backed military coup in 1973. Her parents divorced when she was young, and her mother became involved in a scandalous affair with a Chilean diplomat, whom she later married. Allende was a journalist before she began writing fiction in 1981. Married twice herself, she is the mother of a son and a daughter, and has spent much of her adult life in California.
Literary Review
"Part adventure story, part ecological allegory, the book is both gripping and amusing." - Piers Moore Ede November 2002
