The life story of Isabel Allende - one of the world's favourite
writers - is as exotic, passionate and inspiring as one of her
novels. Just three when her parents divorced, Isabel Allende was
raised in her grandparents' home in Chile. She left school at 16;
and married Miguel Frias at 19. She then juggled her work as a
journalist, editor, advice columnist and television interviewer
with looking after her two children. But when her cousin the
Chilean president Salvador Allende was assassinated in 1973 in
Pinochet's right-wing military coup, her life changed profoundly.
It was too dangerous to stay in Chile; and she, her husband, and
their two children fled to Venezuela. During her impoverished
exile, she started writing 'The House of the Spirits'. Based on her
memories of her family and the political upheaval in her native
country, it became an international bestseller and everything
changed again...
