Paula, from Isabel Allende.

One the books I love more, was "Paula" from Isabel Allende.

This story is about her daughter Paula. She got ill, when she was 28 years old, she was in come and she had to stay many months in the hospital (from december 1991 until january 1992) and Isabel was with her every single day.
While Paula was ill, Isabel tell her every step she made in all her life, the time when she was a child, and she had to live in countries like Bolivia and Beirut, because her stepfather used to work there. The time when she was young, the first time she felt in love and she got married, she told Paula about the time she got her, and they went to live in Belgic and Zwitzerland, also she told the time that her uncle Salvador Allende was president of Chile, and then because of that they have to moved to Venezuela, etc. She made a book, just of stories that happend in her live, until she was trying to fight with the ill of Paula. After Paula dies she wrote letters for her, poems and memories.

Isabel Allende, she born in Lima-Perù, on August 2nd of 1942. At the age of 3 years old she went to live in Chile with her mother and brothers, after her parents get divorced. When she was child and young she lived in many different places. Isabel was married 2 times.
She published articles in newspapers and magazines in America and Europe, also she made lectures tours and speech tours in universities and colleges of America and Europe. She also participated in theater in her country such as "El Embajador" (1971), "La Balada del Medio Pelo" (1973), and "Los Siete Espejos" (1974). The books she wrote are many, the famous ones are:
“The House of the Spirits”, (1982)
“Eva Luna'”, (1985)
“Paula”, (1994)
“Aphrodite” (recipes, stories and other aphrodisiacs), (1997)
“My Invented Country”, (2003)
“Zorro”, (2005)
“Inés of My Soul”, (2006)
Isabel Allende thinks that her most significant achievement is not her writing, it's the love she shares with her family.

Comparing the book with her life I just can say the things I felt while I read the book; Isabel loves her family and she used to love very very much her daughter Paula, so the time when Paula was sick is normal she suffer very much; and Isabel start to remember all her live and tell Paula, that also she couln`t hear her, because she felt lonely. Specially the book is about Isabel's life, so it depends the point of view you read it to interpret it.
