Paula is Isabel Allende's most moving, personal, and intimate book. Beside the bed where her daughter Paula lay dying, the great Chilean narrator wrote the story of her family and of herself with the purpose of giving it to Paula when she overcame the dramatic trance. The result became a self-portrait of unusual emotionality and an exquisite recreation of the sensibility of the women of our time.
