In December 1991, Allende's daughter Paula, aged 26, fell gravely
ill and sank into a coma. This book started as a letter to Paula
written during the hours spent at her bedside, and became a
personal memoir and a testament to the ties that bind families - a
brave, enlightening, inspiring true story. This book was written
during the interminable hours the novelist Isabel Allende spent in
the corridors of a Madrid hospital, in her hotel room and beside
her daughter Paula's bed during the summer and autumn of 1992.
Faced with the loss of her child, Isabel Allende turned to
storytelling, to sustain her own spirit and to convey to her
daughter the will to wake up, to survive. The story she tells is
that of her own life, her family history and the tragedy of her
nation, Chile, in the years leading up to Pinochet's brutal
military coup.
