Paula
A Memoir
Written at her daughter's bedside, Isabel Allende's memoir tells her family's story and becomes a tribute to the daughter she lost.
In 1991 Isabel Allende’s daughter Paula fell into a coma caused by porphyria and never recovered. Sitting at her bedside, Allende began writing the story of her family and her own life, meaning to give it to Paula when she woke. The 1994 memoir became a tribute to her daughter and one of Allende’s most personal books, a portrait of a family and of a mother’s grief.
