When Paula fell into a coma, her mother, the renowned Chilean writer Isabel Allende, began writing down her family's story, and her own, in a notebook, intending it as a gift for her daughter after she had overcome this tragic ordeal. But the illness dragged on for many months, and the writer's notes evolved into this moving and revealing book.
Here, Isabel Allende employs her remarkable narrative talent to revisit her life experiences, taking control of her own as a woman and a writer; she also revisits her family's experiences and the history of her homeland. It is a uniquely emotionally powerful autobiography, and at the same time, a delightful reinterpretation of the sensitivity of women in our time.
"Paula" is a book that will remain in the reader's mind forever linked to the powerful and unforgettable experience of her life.
