  <about><![CDATA[Isabel Allende Llona is a Chilean-American novelist. Allende, who writes in the &quot;magic realism&quot; tradition, is considered one of the first successful women novelists in Latin America. She has written novels based in part on her own experiences, often focusing on the experiences of women, weaving myth and realism together. She has lectured and done extensive book tours and has taught literature at several US colleges. She currently resides in California with her husband.  Allende adopted U.S. citizenship in 2003.
