«Paula» is Isabel Allende's memoir, published by Flamingo in paperback (330 pages, in English).
Isabel Allende began writing this book after the serious illness and coma of her daughter Paula in 1991, turning a letter addressed to her into an account of her own life: her childhood, her family, her exiles and the history of Chile under Pinochet's dictatorship.
Work originally published in Spanish in 1994. This English edition, translated by Margaret Sayers Peden, was published in November 1995.
For readers of memoirs and Latin American literature, and for those who want to discover Isabel Allende's autobiographical side.
