Paula

A Memoir

De: Isabel Allende

Narrado por: Isabel Allende, Cynthia Farrell

“Beautiful and heartrending. . . . Memoir, autobiography, epicedium, perhaps even some fiction: they are all here, and they are all quite wonderful.”—Los Angeles Times

In this literary classic, New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende recalls the story of her beloved daughter and her remarkable family’s past.

When her daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, Isabel Allende began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. Bizarre ancestors are introduced; delightful and bitter childhood memories are shared; amazing anecdotes of youthful years are relived, and the most intimate secrets are quietly passed along. Like Allende’s first novel, The House of the Spirits, this powerful memoir is infused with the real, the magical, and the spiritual, creating a haunting, sad, and beautiful tale.

Deeply heart felt.

Great narration exquisite nonfiction story told by the wonderful writer Isabelle Allende. A depth that touches the pain & joy of life.

Book is wonderful, but as an ebook is difficult.

The lack of smaller chapters or breaks makes listening a challenge for interrupted use.

The love for children

I love it such a bittersweet story and the love parents have for their children.

Just gorgeous
