«O Meu País Inventado» is Isabel Allende's memoir, published by Editorial Presença in paperback (215 pages, in Portuguese).
Love for Chile and the nostalgia of exile (she lived outside the country after the 1973 coup) are at the origin of this memoir. Allende evokes her childhood, her family, her grandparents' house and everyday rituals, and depicts a Chile at once real and fantastic; an intimate territory where personal memory and collective history intertwine.
Originally published in 2003 as «Mi país inventado»; Portuguese translation by Armando Pereira da Silva.
For readers of memoirs and of Isabel Allende, interested in Chilean exile and in an intimate look at identity and rootlessness.
