LaviniaAlexandra P. asked Isabel Allende:

How that all of the stories of your seem to flow like a river continuously? I find that incredible! And thank you for everything you have taught within your books.

Isabel Allende Thank you for your comment and for reading my books with an open heart. I don’t “teach” anything, no storyteller does. I tell the story and you, the sensitive reader, may find in it something that is already in your heart. The story only awakens what might be dormant.
