My invented Country is a memoir in which truth is most definitely stranger than fiction. Exploring the events of her life and those of the country in which she lived until the assassination of her cousin, the president Salvador Allende in Pinochet's militay coup, Allende takes us on a highly personal tour through her homeland, bringing it to life. This is where her grandfather saw the devil on a bus, recognising him becauuse of his 'green cloven hooves like a billygoat, and her great aunt sprouted wings, a place of love charms, ghosts and continual family feuds.
