(B)
Isabel Allende's novels are enjoyed all over the world. She is famous for her creativity. And
her own personal story is like that in her novel. Born in 1942, Allende's family moved often
during her childhood. She went to school in South America, Europe and Asia. As a young
woman, she became a reporter in Santiago, Chile's capital city. Then, she got married and had
two children. In 1970, everything began to change.
● Leaving Home
Isabel Allende's uncle was a political leader（政治领导人）named Salvador Allende. In
1970, her uncle was chosen president of Chile. In 1973, he was killed during the fighting. When
Isabel Allende began to fear for her life, she and her family decided to move to Venezuela.
● From Newspaper to Novels
It was really a painful experience for Isabel Allende to leave her country. Without this
experience, however, Allende said she would never have begun writing novels. Then she got a
phone call from Chile. Her grandfather was dying. She knew she could not return home to be
with him, but she wanted to respect him in some way. "I decided to write a letter about all the
things he told us when we were young," Allende explained. Later, she wrote a long letter
which became Allende's first novel *The House of the Spirits*.
● The Writing Life
"I spend ten to twelve hours a day, in a room, writing," Allende says. "I don't talk to
anybody; I don't answer the phone." When she finished the first draft（草稿）of a new novel,
Allende mailed a copy to her strictest critic(最严厉的评论家). "I sent it to my mother. She
read it and came with a red pen. We fought for a month at least." Allende then went back to
work until she felt the book was finished. "The storytelling is the fun part," she said. "The
writing can be a lot of work!"
