In this extended essay, novelist Allende ruminates on her upbringing in Chile, interweaving memories of South America with her feelings for the United States, where she has lived since the assassination of Chilean president (and her uncle) Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973. Called forth by the events of September 11, 2001, the book reflects Allende's acknowledgment of the United States as home. It's also a thoughtful consideration of Chile and the Chilean character.
