My Invented Country: A Nostalgic Journey Through Chile by Isabel Allende

4.0

I'm writing this review while listening to Afro-Peruvian music - not quite the right region, but not far off.

Other reviewers have described Allende's memoir as being more about her lack of place. That is how I felt as I read this book on the bus to work in DC in the fall of 2007, shortly after leaving a place I thought would always be home. I don't remember much about this book - more about the experience of reading it - and I think that's OK.
