Isabel Allende’s La casa de los espíritus is an important writing narrative of Latin American women. Published in 1982, it is part of the post-boom movement that updates the writing of the Latin American boom to certain literary characteristics, such as the memoir. The purpose of this article is to analyze Allende’s work from the (re)writing that character Alba makes of her family’s history to recover as herself. The writing of Alba’s memories represents the new directions of post-boom Latin American literature: writing in order to never forget. Finally, it is concluded by briefly developing how La casa dos espíritus acts as a text that reinforces the feminist role of empowering women through writing.
