Join the New York Times bestselling author for a profound exploration of magic of writing and her creative process.

‍

Isabel Allende has spent nearly fifty years writing novels that refuse to stay quiet.

‍

From The House of the Spirits to A Long Petal of the Sea, her fiction moves between the political and the deeply personal, carrying the weight of history without losing its humanity. With over 80 million copies sold, she is one of the most widely read authors alive.

‍

For Allende, writing is an addiction, a way of holding memory against the erosion of time. She’ll be in conversation, speaking about the intuition, the failures, and the hard-won wisdom that have shaped a literary life of extraordinary range. How does a story form? What does the craft demand, and what does it give back? Few writers alive are better placed to answer.

‍

Come and spend an evening with one of the world’s most indomitable storytellers, reflecting with wit and candour on a writing life.
