My Invented Country: A Nostalgic Journey Through Chile

Oct 21, 830pm ~~ Review asap.
Oct 22, 10am ~~ I learned a lot about Isabel Allende in this book. I learned a lot about the geography and political history of Chile. I also now understand a friend of the family better, because she is from Chile and matches to a tee Allende's personality profile of the typical Chilean. And I discovered that the USA is a bigger buttinsky then I ever realized. I never knew about my country's involvement in Chile and I am thoroughly disgusted. When is my government going to learn to Live And Let Live and quit being afraid of everyone who has different ideas?!
But anyway, about the book. I enjoyed it very much. I have read a couple of Allende's novels, many years ago. I chose this book as part of an order from my favorite online book seller. So of course now that I have learned that one book of hers I have is actually number 2 of an 'involuntary' trilogy, I went back and ordered numbers 1 and 3. And I have her book Zorro out in my Spanish Language Bookcase. I read both long enough ago that they will be new to me. So guess who is being added to my 2023 reading plans?!
It was a pleasure getting to know the author and I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys her work or wonders about the woman behind the books.
