Sinopse

Written shortly after the death of her daughter Paula, victim of a rare disease, this memoir is the most moving and intimate of all Isabel Allende's works.

In 1991, Isabel Allende's daughter, Paula, became seriously ill and was admitted to a hospital in Spain. The writer followed Paula's suffering for months, in a coma caused by a rare disease. At her unconscious daughter's bedside, Isabel made notes in a notebook, writing things meant to remind Paula who she was and where she came from, imagining that Paula, upon awakening, might have lost her memory. The story Isabel Allende writes is not just her own: it is that of her family, that of her country, that of mid-20th-century Latin America. From bizarre ancestors to childhood memories; from the adventures of youth to the years of lead in Chile during the military dictatorship.

Paula died on December 6, 1992. On January 8, 1993, Isabel Allende took the material contained in this notebook, along with the 108 letters she had exchanged with Panchita, her mother, over the previous year, reread everything, and began to arrange what had happened in chronological order. Realizing that death had truly been her daughter's only escape, she began to organize everything that had happened in her head and heart. By committing it to paper, Paula began to emerge alive.

In Paula , Isabel Allende makes us laugh, cry, get emotional, terrified and celebrates life with the courage of a woman who knew how to turn things around.
