If you already know and love Isabel Allende, this is a great Autobiography wrapped in a colorful and descriptive "Journey Through Chile" as only Allende could write it. It is by turns funny, ironic, romantic and magical - just like her "Fiction", much of which is based on stories from her life. It is giving me such an interesting taste of who she is, in addition to being a writer. Makes me want to meet her. I had no idea what a cool woman she is.
If you haven't read anything by her, read some of her other books first, I think it adds to the interest of this one. I'm going to go back and reread for sure.
