Chilean Writer Isabel Allende-2/3(good interview)

Chilean Writer Isabel Allende on Her Memoir, Her Family, Michelle Bachelet, Torture and Immigration
Bestselling Chilean writer Isabel Allende is world-renowned for her narrative craft and gripping stories that blend the mythical with the personal. She has written over a dozen books that have sold fifty-one million copies. Her debut novel in 1982, The House of the Spirits, chronicled four generations of a Chilean family through the tumult of that country's political history. It is a history that is intertwined with Allende's own. Her latest book is a memoir titled The Sum of Our Days. Allende joins us in our firehouse studio for an extended conversation about her writing, her family, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, the treatment of immigrants in the United States and much more.

The jornalist seam very well prepare, I thought at the begining the music the where going to play was a peruvian song, but they played Violeta Parra, which is very good option. I thought they where goign to make the same mistake that cnn did where they put the peruvian flag and music, when they were talking about the miners traped undergound.
