When Paula entered a state of coma, her mother, the great Chilean writer Isabel Allende, began writing on the pages of a notebook the story of her family, and her own story, to present it as a gift to her daughter after overcoming the tragic ordeal. But the illness lasted for many months, and the writer's notes turned into this emotional and revealing book about her personality. Isabel Allende here practices her amazing novelist talent to recall her life experiences, and to take control as a woman and a writer; she also recalls her family’s experiences and the recent history of her homeland. It is a unique self-portrait in its emotional impact, and at the same time an enjoyable creative reimagining of the delicacy of women in our era. Paula is a book that will remain in the reader’s mind linked to the momentum of an unforgettable impactful experience.
