Isabel Allende And "The Wind Knows My Name"
Isabel Allende is no stranger to the experience of being an immigrant and refugee. When a military coup overthrew the Chilean presidency in 1973—led by her cousin, Salvador Allende—her family fled to Venezuela, where she penned her first novel "The House of Spirits."
Her latest book, "The Wind Knows My Name," juxtaposes the experiences of a child fleeing Nazi-occupied territory in Europe in 1938, and another child fleeing danger in El Salvador and facing family separation at the U.S. border in 2019.
We discuss Allende's newest novel and how literature can help make sense of the complex world around us.
