An interesting, well-written biography. Many black-and-white and color photographs, maps, and sidebars enhance the enticing glimpse into her Chilean world. The author does a superior job in presenting the facts of Allende's personal and professional life within the framework of an engaging narrative. World and private events are interwoven to demonstrate the woman's influences as a writer. A detailed time line, bibliography, and index contribute to this useful resource., School Library Journal January 2006
