Den chilenske eksilforfatter Isabel Allendes tanker i anledning af datterens sygdom og død kædet sammen med beretningen om forfatterens egen opvækst og omtumlede liv.
This work of grieving and honoring was written after the loved and happily married adult daughter of the Author was stricken with porphyria. Isabel mothered and wrote at the bedside as Paula gradually lost her senses and died, after a year of torments and losses. The Author presents a rich table set with her "spiritual" skills. She observes much and examines what she observes without failing to honor the life of the dying. All who have grieved the slow death of a beloved member of the family can find solace here, at this bedside, with this parallel of connections.
She begins with the moving quote by Robert Bly: "We did not come to remain whole. We came to lose our leaves like the trees. The trees that are broken/ And start again, drawing up from the great roots." Allende writes with roots. ( )
Paula es el libro más conmovedor, más personal y más íntimo de Isabel Allende. Junto al lecho en que agonizaba su hija Paula, la gran narradora chilena escribió la historia de su familia y de sí misma con el propósito de regalársela a Paula cuando ésta superara el dramático trance. El resultado se convirtió en un autorretrato de insólita emotividad y en una exquisita recreación de la sensibilidad de las mujeres de nuestra época.
I don't particularly care for memoirs (this is a book club read) so it's hard to put a rating to something I'm inclined to dislike at the get-go. However, I do think this is a better variety of memoir than so many out there and the political aspects of memoir are really interesting. ( )

In December 1991 my daughter, Paula, fell gravely ill and soon thereafter sank into a coma. These pages were written during the interminable hours spent in the corridors of a Madrid hospital and in the hotel room where I lived for several months, as well as beside her bed in our home in California during summer and fall of 1992.
