A little different than what I expected, but a decent listen nonetheless.

This is a perfect example of how to merge the memoir and history formats while still being entertaining and relatable. I can't wait to read more of Allende's works (both fiction and nonfiction).

My Invented Country is Allende's memoir of her relationship to Chile as she attempts to answer the question: What role has nostalgia played in her writing? We learn of her inspiration for House of the Spirits and other works. Allende is funny, sarcastic, and a great writer. I am inspired to read her other works.

This book was kind of boring, but I do feel like I learned a bit about Chile, which was the goal. She got into dangerous territory at times when she generalized about other cultures and countries, but overall I liked reading her perspective of Chile.
