| This is part of my private album. These photos are precious
to me and they offer a peek into my past. My family has been very important
in my life and my work, mainly because some of my relatives are very extravagant
people. With relatives like mine I don't need to use my imagination, they
alone provide all the material I need for my novels. Their stories are like
an on-going soap opera. Many of my relatives have been the models for the
characters in my books, like my grandparents who became Esteban Trueba and
Clara del Valle in The House of the Spirits. Also in my memoir Paula
I write extensively about some of them. |
