Paula: A Memoir -- Isabel Allende

<p><strong>"Beautiful and heartrending. . . . Memoir, autobiography, epicedium, perhaps even some fiction: they are all here, and they are all quite wonderful."--<em>Los Angeles Times</em></strong></p><p><strong>In this literary classic, New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende recalls the story of her beloved daughter and her remarkable family's past.</strong></p><p>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, <em>The House of the Spirits</em>, this powerful memoir is infused with the real, the magical, and the spiritual, creating a haunting, sad, and beautiful tale. <br/></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Isabel Allende<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harpervia<br><b>Published:</b> 09/29/2020<br><b>Pages:</b> 480<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.80lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.30w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780063021792<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 8.6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 26<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>30228 / Paula (English)<br>
