When I am writing a book, I need to close the door when I finish, and no one should get in. I have the idea in my mind that the story is an entity that lives in that room, with the characters and the emotions that I have been putting together. And when I come back the next day, I open the door and it's waiting for me intact.

Any book can be a beach read as long as you're reading and you're on a beach.

In 'My Name is Emilia del Valle,' Isabel Allende presents a powerful narrative featuring an adventurous journalist who breaks boundaries in a male-dominated world.
