Isabel Allende Llona (born August 2, 1942) is a Chilean writer, living in UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates, with a lot of success worldwide. She is '''not''' the daughter of former [[UsefulNotes/PresidentsOfChile Chilean President]] Salvador Allende as some might believe, but rather his niece (Salvador and Isabel's dad are cousins); a mistake easy to make, since Salvador Allende ''does'' have a daughter named Isabel Allende Bussi, a career politician in Chile.

Due to some HypeBacklash and the concept of TrueArt for some people, she is very much a polarizing author. The press has lauded her many times, but people like critic Harold Bloom or fellow writer Creator/RobertoBolano have bashed her numerous times, accusing her of churning out commercial literature, reinforcing female stereotypes, plagiarizing Creator/GabrielGarciaMarquez or just plain being a bad writer. In her native country, the vitriol is ten times more accentuated, especially considering how heavily some of her books lean towards WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical.
