This is Isabel Allende's magnificent sequel to her bestselling memoir, Paula. This addresses her family's struggle to come to terms with Paula's eventual death, aged just 28.
Isabel surrounds herself with her wild and vibrant relatives, a boisterous 'tribe' whose joys, heartbreaks, passions and disasters she chronicles with verve and lively wit. There's no stone left unturned, to the chagrin of some - as Isabel quips, no Chilean wants a writer in the family - but she writes of love, spiritualism, drug addiction and religious fervour with wisdom and sensitivity. The sorrow of Paula's death lingers, but ultimately this is a memoir of quiet triumph - a faithful reflection of grieving and remembering.
Soft cover, very good condition.
