Isabel Allende's novels are enjoyed all over the world. She is famous for her creativity and imagination. And her own personal story is as amazing as any she has ever told in a novel. Born in 1942, Allende's family often moved during her childhood. She went to school in South America, Europe, and Asia. As a young woman, she became a journalist in Santiago, Chile's capital city. Then, she got married and had two children. In 1970, everything began to change.

Leaving home

Isabel Allende's uncle was a political leader named Salvador Allende. In 1970, her uncle was elected president of Chile. In 1973, President Allende was killed during the fighting. When Isabel Allende began to fear for her life, she and her family decided to move to Venezuela.

From Newspaper to Novels

"I decided to write a letter about all the things he told us when we were young," Allende explained. Later, she wrote a long letter which became Allende's first novel, The House of the Spirits.

The Writing Life
