ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Fifty years after the coup, Salvador Allende's daughter narrates what took place during that ill-fatedweek.

Tuesday, September 11th, the author of this book left in her car for La Moneda to accompany her father, President Salvador Allende, in the resistance to the coup d' tat. She left the palace before the bombing, and from that moment on had to go through harrowing and extraordinary situations before departing with her family, as exiles, to Mexico, on Saturday, September 15th.

This book, a memory exercise of what happened during that week, offers the very first intimate overview of how the Allende Bussi family dealt with painful episodes that were kept private until today: the death of the father, the bombing of the presidential residence on Tomas Moro street, the anonymous burial in Vi adel Mar, her sister Beatriz "Tati" Allende's quick exit with the Cuban diplomatic corps, the family taking refuge at the Mexican Embassy, and the--last minute--agonizing departure through the courageous assistance of Ambassador Gonzalo Martinez.

Isabel Allende Bussi delivers a powerful and detailed remembrance of that week, in which the President's feat to hold out until the very end shocked the whole world.
