«Paula» is Isabel Allende's memoir, published by RBA in paperback (317 pages, in Spanish).
In December 1991, Paula, Isabel Allende's daughter, fell into a coma. During her hospitalisation, the author wrote in a notebook the story of her family and her own life, intended as a gift for her daughter. Those notes became a narrative that reviews her trajectory as a woman and writer, her lineage and the recent history of Chile.
This RBA Coleccionables edition is part of the Nueva Narrativa collection (no. 3); the work was originally published in 1994.
For readers of memoirs and twentieth-century Latin American literature, especially those seeking the most personal side of Isabel Allende.
