From reviews of the first edition: ." . . Allende has led a life
full of drama, passion, and history-- one that is a novela in its
own right. Now a book, Conversations with Isabel Allende, gives
fans the inside story as told by Allende herself. . . . This is
worthwhile reading for anyone who wants to know what makes a good
writer tick." -- Latina
"Notoriously cavalier about the lines between fact, memory, and
the storyteller's urge to keep the listener going, Allende
embellishes or withholds wherever she pleases. Serious subjects are
discussed and dealt with seriously, but there is plenty of laughter
and evidence of the woman's appealing optimism and sense of play,
whimsy, and charm." -- Bloomsbury Review
"[This] is a rich, entertaining, and informative look at the
life-in-progress and work of an extraordinary woman." -- Virginia
Quarterly Review
"[Readers] will find themselves enthralled with the fascinating
story of a politically committed and dedicated writer, mother, and
wife." -- School Library Journal
"Her fans will love the Isabel who comes across so well spoken
here." -- Booklist
This revised edition has been updated to cover Allende's three
newest books-- City of the Beasts, Portrait in Sepia: A Novel, and
Daughter of Fortune. It includes four new interviews in which
Allende discusses completing her trilogy of novels that began with
House of the Spirits, as well as her ongoing spiritual adventure
and political interests.
