'Allende is a master storyteller at the peak of her powers' Los Angeles Times Born into poverty, seamstress Inés Suárez embodies the same restless hope and opportunism that fuels her nation's conquest of the Americas. Learning that her shiftless husband has vanished, Inés uses his disappearance to embark on her own adventure to the other side of the world. It is a journey will lead her to Pedro de Valdivia - a conquistador who becomes the first royal governor of Chile - and to a love that not only changes her life but the course of history.
Born in Peru and raised in Chile, Isabel Allende is a literary living legend and phenomenon. With 77 million books sold, she is the most-read author in the Spanish language throughout the world, and a blockbuster international bestseller of adult novels. A novelist, feminist and philanthropist, Isabel won worldwide acclaim in 1982 with her first novel, The House of the Spirits. Her work has been translated into over forty-two languages, and received the PEN Center Lifetime Achievement Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She lives in California.

'In "The House of Spirits", Allende constructed an allusional tale for the fate of modern Chile. Now she has repeated the trick for the foundation of the country. The result is perhaps her best book since that debut.' Independent
'Allende's version of events sees Ines Suarez as the puppeteer pulling the strings of the influential men she's involved with. She is quick-witted, militarily astute and has a deep understanding of "the enemy". Allende does not attempt to rewrite the past. Instead, she provides a colourful glimpse into the life of a daring Spanish woman whose vital role has been forgotten by history.' Daily Express
'Fresh and provocative looks at this fascinating period of history.' New Statesman
'Writing about her homeland and its history, she brings to her work a passion and commitment worthy of her vividly drawn characters.' Glasgow Herald
