Paula

a Memoir
Feb 11, 2013kiddo rated this title 1.5 out of 5 stars
"Listen, Paula. I am going to tell you a story, so that when you wake up you will not feel so lost." So begins Isabel Allende's heartfelt letter to her comatose daughter Paula. The prose is often beautiful, and there are some poignant moments. However, Allende is the least compelling character in her own story, and the book drags when she focuses the narrative on herself.
