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 moved often 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 became the president of Chile. In 1973, President Allende died during the coup(政变). When Isabel Allende began to fear for her life, she and her family decided to move to Venezuela.
From Newspaper to Novels
It was really a painful experience for Isabel Allende to leave her country. Without this experience, however, Allende said she would never have begun writing novels. Then she got a phone call from Chile. Her grandfather was dying. She knew she could not return home to be with him, but she wanted to respect him in some way. "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.

Allende then went back to work until she felt the book was finished. "The storytelling is the fun part," she said. "The writing can be a lot of work!"
