"...seeds in the belly...
can love endure?
why does it end?
...I totally recommend lovers...
much better to see each other in secret..."
- Isabel Allende during an interview tonight promoting her latest novel, The Japanese Lover
I met Isabel in November of 2007. I was pregnant with my son and did not yet know about the miracle blooming in my belly. Isabel was so sweet and kind. She felt very familiar to me, especially when we shared an embrace as we sat by a fountain.
