Isabel Allende was born in Lima, Peru on August 2, 1942. Her parents were Chileans, her father, Thomas Agende was a diplomat and cousin of President Salvador Agende of Chile from 1970 to 1973. When Isabel was two years old, her parents divorced. Isabelle's mother, Francesca, dwells her and her grandparents in Chile. Alende's mother, who spent several years in Chile, remarried another alien and her other diplomat who took her two brothers abroad. Around this time, Agendé lived in various cities in Bolivia, Middle East, Europe. In 1957 the family lived in Lebanon, but due to political turmoil and violence in the country Alende's parents urged her to send her back to Chile for receiving high school education at a private school. In 1962, she finished three years later at the age of 16 and married her first husband, Miguel Frias. In the meantime, she served as Secretary of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization until 1965.

Isabel Agende lost Chile when the Pinochet administration took office in 1973 - he took her father's cousin, Salvador Allende as president, and started a fascist art review for 20 years. In "House of Souls", Agendé wrote the era after the colonial period after exile in Venezuela and the generation of Chile living in the dictatorship. Through the fictitious Troub family, Agenda speaks of a typical Latin American story about magical realism and resistance. Many people believe that wild thorns are the first book on Israel - Palestinian conflict, written from the perspective of Palestine. Wild Thorns who live in the West Bank occupied in 1972 are trying to release and release their own country for their families according to the radical Osama and the story of pragmatic Adil.

Allende is the daughter of Isabel Allende Lona, Lima, Peru, Francesca Lorna Barros and Thomas Allende was the second secretary of the Chilean embassy. From 1970 to 1973, her father was the first cousin of President Salvador Allende in Chile. Therefore, the former head of state is her first cousin. Many sources insist that Allende is the niece of El Salvador (It is not to say that this relationship is not a cousin of Thomas and El Salvador); confusion Alend himself often calls El Salvador her "uncle" . With her private life and public interview. This is because, in Spanish, the "first-generation cousin that was once deleted" was translated as "secondary uncle" (tíonensegundo grado).
