My Invented Country: A Memoir by Isabel Allende

Translated from the Spanish by Margaret Sayers Peden. 2003 first edition, hardcover with dust jacket.

Isabel Allende’s affectionate, funny, and moving portrait of Chile, the country of her birth, written from her home in California. Part memoir and part love letter, it takes in her eccentric family, Chilean customs and character, the turmoil of the 1973 coup, and what it means to carry a homeland with you after leaving it. A warm and graceful read for lovers of memoir, Latin American writing, or anyone who enjoyed The House of the Spirits.

Condition: Very Good. Hardcover with dust jacket. Water mark to the dust jacket on the top.  “Pages clean and bright, binding firm.”
