«Paula» is Isabel Allende's memoir, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
The book arises from the notes Isabel Allende wrote at the bedside of her daughter Paula, in a coma, thinking of giving them to her when she woke up. Those notes, written over months, became a narrative that interweaves personal and family memory with the history of Chile and portrays the author's personal side.
The work was originally published in 1994; this 1998 edition is part of the Ave Fénix collection.
For readers of memoirs and contemporary literature in Spanish, as well as for followers of Isabel Allende who want to approach her personal side.
