“Nice people with common sense do not make interesting characters. They only make good former spouses.”
You can watch the full video, Isabel Allende: Tales of passion, at YouTube or below. She’s actually rather funny.

Great speech. Are you a fan of any of Allende’s books? If not, check out Eva Luna, one of my favorites.

Confession: I’ve never read anything by her. I own The House of Spirits, but it’s at my parents’ house in Houston. After this TED talk though, I’m definitely adding her to my reading queue! (I think I want to read in Spanish.) I’ll put Eva Luna at the top, thanks!
