One from: Latin
American writers: Isabel Allende .
Short Review
When
Isabel Allende's daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, the
author began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. In the
telling,
bizarre ancestors appear before our eyes; we hear both delightful and
bitter childhood memories, amazing anecdotes of youthful years, and the most
intimate secrets passed along in whispers. With Paula, Allende has written a
powerful autobiography whose straightforward acceptance of the magical and
spiritual worlds will remind readers of her first book, The House of the Spirits.
