Beschreibung

'Allende's best work to date' NEW YORK TIMES<BR><BR>In December 1991, Isabel Allende's daughter Paula fell into a coma. This book was written by her beside - a memoir, a family history and a letter from mother to daughter Isabel intended to give to Paula once she'd overcome her illness.<BR><BR>Revisiting Allende's childhood, her early career and marriage, and the turbulent political events of 1970s Chile, Paula is an extraordinary blend of memory and retrospective, past and present.

A fascinating account of the breakdown of a country and an immensely moving description of parenthood, loss and grief, this is a wholly unique narrative from an exceptional writer.<BR><BR>'An emotionally charged, spellbinding memoir' WASHINGTON POST
