Isabel Allende: Maya's Notebook
Isabel Allende's latest novel tells a coming-of-age story about teenager Maya Vidal. Abandoned as an infant, Maya turns to drugs, alcohol, and petty crime when her beloved step-grandfather Popi dies.

As Maya's grandmother Nidia sends her into protective custody on Chiloe, an island off Chile's southern coast, she hands her a notebook in which to record her story. Maya's diary relates a journey into self-destruction.

Fair and tall, Maya does not resemble her Chilean side, neither her absentee pilot father nor tough-love Berkeley activist Nidia, but, rather, her Danish flight-attendant mother, who left her newborn with her in-laws. Maya's guiding light had been her grandmother's second husband, a wise and loving African American astronomer.

Isabel Allende is the internationally bestselling, award-winning author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction and a trilogy for young adults. Her books have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold more than 57 million copies. Isabel Allende was featured in The Seattle Public Library's 2004 Seattle Reads series.  

This event is supported by The Seattle Public Library Foundation, author series sponsor Gary Kunis, and media sponsor The Seattle Times, and presented in partnership with The Elliott Bay Book Co. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
