Due to some HypeBacklash and the concept of TrueArt for some people, she is very much a polarizing author. The press has lauded her many times, but people like critic Harold Bloom or fellow writer Creator/RobertoBolano have bashed her numerous times, accusing her of churning out commercial literature, reinforcing female stereotypes, plagiarizing Creator/GabrielGarciaMarquez or just plain being a bad writer. In her native country, the vitriol is ten times [[UpToEleven more accentuated]], specially considering how heavily some of her books lean towards WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical.

These considerations moved fellow writer Camilo Marks to write: "There's two ways to read Isabel Allende. The first consists on scrutizing every defect of her books, exposing them in detail and send her to the pits of Hell by an unappealable, self-satisfied, founded guilty verdict. The second is built on the premise that it is legitimate to spend a good time readin her narrations, as they are entertaining, it's not hard to get caught by them and they do have merits that attract the massive crowd or even more demanding readers. Between both extremes is hard to find a middle point."

She has written a lot of books, but in this wiki, only ''Literature/TheHouseOfTheSpirits'', ''Literature/OfLoveAndShadows'' and ''Literature/EvaLuna'' have their own page. Which is a shame, because her books are entertaining for the right audience. She also wrote a well-received novel about ''{{Franchise/Zorro}}'', fittingly named {{Literature/Zorro}} outlining his early years.

Which brings us to the sensitive topic. Due to some HypeBacklash and the concept of TrueArt for some people, she is very much a polarizing author.

Isabel Allende Llona is a Chilean writer, living in UsefulNotes/TheUnitedStates, with a lot of success worldwide. She is '''not''' the daughter of former [[UsefulNotes/PresidentsOfChile Chilean President]] Salvador Allende as some might believe, but rather his niece (Salvador and Isabel's dad are cousins); a mistake easy to make, since Salvador Allende ''does'' have a daughter [[NamesTheSame named Isabel Allende Bussi]], currently a politician and senator in Chile.
