Isabel Allende was born in Lima, Peru in 1942, her father was a diplomatic from Chile, and she was niece of Salvador allende who was president of this country years ago. when she was twenty years old she got married to Miguel frias with who she had two kids, Paula and Nicolas after some years later she get divorce, and after this she left Chile when the chilenos expulse Salvador allende from the presidence, Isabel had a pretty hard life when her daughter had a disease that put her in a comma from several years and some years later she die.
Isabel don’t have to use much of her imagination in her books, because her family provided her almost all the material she needs, some of her family member are reflected in her books characters like in her book “la casa de los espiritus” her grandfathers where “Esteban Trueba and Clara del Valle” and also in her book “Paula” she wrote a lot about her family members.
She likes to write about her livings or about stories that she grow up believe in. she love to write about her own experiences and about the things that actually happened in her live with her family and what she had to go threw some years where she had to fight for her children, she lived in Europe a couple of years because her stepfather was a diplomatic and they were allways travelling and living in different countries.
In 1975 she move with her husband and her children to Caracas, Venezuela for 13 years which were the most important years for her point of view that increase her desire for writing and she star to write” la casa de los espiritus” this book makes that Isabel enter the writers world.
When her daughter got sick she move to California where she lives at the moment, she had travel a lot in her live but always taking her family with her, the experience that Isabel had to live where difficult her daughter death was one of the hardest years that this author had to live, Paula was one of her best sellers and one of the first comments that Isabel did to a magazine was that the only thing she regret about this book, was that her daughter couldn’t read it.
The hard live that Isabel had to live and she reflect this pain in some of her books is what makes her books unique. Her life what’s pretty hard and she likes to write about her stories and what she had live in her life.

hi Dayana,
I think your article is great!! First, you chose a very good writer as Isabel Allende, and then, the connections you gave are perfect. Her daughter's death and the fact she had lo leave her country for political reasons, definately influenced her life.
Your writing is good, but I can see some errors, for example, there are some in past not correctly used: "she got divorced", "what she lived", "stories", "she writes what she knows", etc.
Thank you for participating.
I think that Isabell Allende has written her books for many reasons,one which is her family because she lived moments hard when his daugther die and she want to remenber her....
I think Isabel Allende is one of the best writers around Latin-American. She had a lot of problems between her life and she started to write a lot of stories about her own life. One of my favorite books from Isabel Allende is “la casa de los espiritus”
The big troubles that have Allende in his life, didd her a really good expierence and example for life, most of the times everybody prefers money and leave for teh last the love of the family, so this writer remind us the importance of home.
