Daughter of Salvador, was elected yesterday as speaker of the lower house. Finally some good news.

errrr, if this is Isabel Allende the novelist we're talking about, I don't think she is actually a daughter of the former President, but a relative.

but I might be wrong.

niece I believe

was nice to see that she was acknowledged by someone (tho i am sure anthny meant no disrespect) as having an identity outside of 'related to ....'

eighteen years pass...

lol this thread

I've been assigned an Allende for book club and really have no idea whether's she's rated or bad and hated or what. My dad disliked her for supposedly leftist reasons but I think he must have gotten something wrong there, she seems ok on that front? Anyway, what does ILX think of Allende?
