«Paula» is Isabel Allende's memoir, published by Plaza & Janés in hardback (365 pages, in Spanish).
While her daughter Paula was in a coma, Isabel Allende began writing in a notebook the story of her family and of herself, with the idea of giving it to Paula when she woke up. That text became a self-portrait that traces her life as a woman and writer, family memory, and the recent history of Chile.
The first edition dates from 1994 and the work belongs to the Ave Fénix collection, Serie Mayor.
Suitable for the general public and for readers interested in memoirs, biographies, and Latin American literature.
