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.

In this episode of the podcast, Isabel joins us to explore the intuition, the failures, and the hard-won wisdom that have shaped a literary life of extraordinary range. She offers insight into her life and process, and shares guidance for aspiring writers: How does a story form? How can you embrace the mysteries of magic and life in your work, and find your unique voice? How can you surrender to the process of writing?
