Order of Isabel Allende Books
Isabel Allende is a Chilean-American author and journalist. She is currently one of the most widely read Spanish-language authors in the world – if not the most. Isabel writes based on her own personal experiences, while adding in myth and realism woven together. She began her career working for the magazines Paula and Mampato. When Allende learned that her grandfather was gravely ill, she wrote him a letter for her own peace of mind; a letter that would evolve into her novel The House of the Spirits. Her style is considered magical realism, but also contains elements of other styles. Allende gained her American citizenship in 1993 and lives in California with her husband and fellow novelist, William C. Gordon.
Isabel Allende became a published author in 1982 with the novel The House of the Spirits. Below is a list of Isabel Allende’s books in order of when they were originally published:
