Reportedly, "Allende married early, into an [[Anglophile]] family and a kind of double life: at home she was the obedient wife and mother of two; in public she became, after a spell translating [[Barbara Cartland]], a moderately well-known TV personality, a dramatist and a journalist on a feminist magazine."<ref name="Review" />Allende's and Frías's daughter [[Paula Frías Allende|Paula]] was born in 1963; she died in 1992 age 29.

As she completed the book, she says: "I was ending a marriage that had dragged on too long. It was a time for me to reflect upon love and relationships, romance and passion, ageing, memory, loss. The things that changed the direction of my life have been totally out of my control: my father abandoning me, my mother marrying a diplomat, the military coup, my daughter’s death".}}</ref>
