When Paula fell into a coma, her mother, the great Chilean writer Isabel Allende, began writing down her family's story, and her own, in a notebook to present to her daughter after overcoming the tragic ordeal. But her illness dragged on for months, and the writer's notes became this moving and revealing book. Here, Isabel Allende uses her amazing narrative talent to relive her life experiences and to take control of herself as a woman and a writer. She also relives the experiences of her family and the recent history of her homeland. It is a self-portrait unique in its emotional impact, and at the same time, it is a delightful recreation of the sensuality of women in our time.
"Paula" is a book that will remain in the reader's mind with the momentum of an unforgettable, moving experience.
