Isabel Allende: The House of the Spirits

Called "a novel of force and charm" by The Washington Post and "sharply observant" by The New York Times, The House of the Spirits earned Isabel Allende paeans of praise, making its author the most unexpected sensation from Latin America since the emergence of Gabriel García Márquez. In this classic interview, award-winning writer Isabel Allende discusses why she turned to writing novels, the impact of Chile’s 1973 coup, her life as an émigré, and her recurring literary theme of exile. Although at peace with her life abroad, she also describes her longing for her homeland, which continues to take up space in her life. (46 minutes)
