Born in Peru, Isabel Allende is Chilean. She was a journalist for many years and began to write fiction in 1981. The result was the worldwide bestseller The House of the Spirits, which was followed two years later by the equally successful Of Love and Shadows . Long a resident of Caracas, she now makes her home in San Rafael, California, where she is completing a new book. From the Trade Paperback edition.
