Newly ReissuedNew York Times Bestselling Author "Beautiful and heartrending. . . . Memoir, autobiography, epicedium, perhaps even some fiction: they are all here, and they are all quite wonderful." --Los Angeles Times When Isabel Allende's daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, the author began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. In the telling, bizarre ancestors appear before our eyes; we hear both delightful and bitter childhood memories, amazing anecdotes of youthful years, the most intimate secrets passed along in whispers. With Paula, Allende has written a powerful autobiography whose straightforward acceptance of the magical and spiritual worlds will remind readers of her first book, The House of the Spirits.

Betyg
En självbiografisk roman där Isabel Allende skriver om sitt och sin familjs historia medan hon följer sin obotligt sjuka dotter Paula hennes sista tid i livet.
I första delen tilltalar Allende sin dotter, berättar för henne. Då finns det fortfarande hopp om tillfrisknande.
En stark roman som man inte vill ha oläst.
