Women, my soul

In a long-awaited meeting, the Chilean novelist speaks to us honestly, inviting us to accompany her on an intimate journey that began in childhood, a journey through her lively, tumultuous life, because "a calm, safe life is not good material for imagination." Isabel Allende tells us about love; "which does not grow like a wild plant, but is carefully planted"; about age "which passes while one is busy making other plans"; about her experience in Lebanon and her travels around the world; about her literary and feminist journey; about what it means to be a woman in a man's world. She talks about her mother, the steadfast tree whose roots run deep; about her daughter Paula, who passed away at the bloom of her youth; about her companions on the road; about women who challenged the world of men; about women of the spirit.
