This is the first in a series about badass Latin American women who made history and constantly inspire us 💕 Isabel Allende, born in Lima, Peru and raised in Chile. In 1981, Isabel began writing a letter to her dying grandfather that evolved into her first novel, The House of the Spirits. ¨He died -he never received the letter- but I kept on writing in the kitchen every night after work, and in a year I had 500 pages of something that was obviously not a letter." Isabel has written over 20 books that have been translated into more than 35 languages and sold more than 67 million copies 😍 "When I was young, I often felt desperate: so much pain in the world and so little I could do to alleviate it! But now I look back at my life and feel satisfied because few days went by without me at least trying to make a difference." What is your favourite Allende's book ? #inspiration #motivate #success #latinwomen
