Paula is the book most moving, most personal and intimate of Isabel Allende. Beside the bed where her daughter Paula lay dying, the great Chilean storyteller wrote the story of her family and herself in order to give it to Paula when she exceeded the dramatic trance. The result became a self-portrait of rare and exquisite emotional recreation of the sensitivity of women of our time.

"Listen Paula, I'll tell you a story, so when you wake up you're not so lost.."
Paula's description of the disease and death and 
t is masterfully written. It makes us feel that there is nothing comparable with the pain of a grieving mother. A clear description of the furious and inconsolable grief of a mother whose son is on the verge of death.
A letter to hundreds of pages that could never be delivered.
Through this letter, Isabel tells her daughter the whole story of his life and his ancestors, he describes his own pain, his son and all his associates.
More than once I felt tears roll down her cheeks, more than once felt like laughing.
Paula is a book unlike any I've read before. Is a continuous mix of feelings, to feel that Paula is part of my family.
What else to say? It's a completely emotional book is a comprehensive description of a mother's love ..
