NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!!!
This is truly a soul-baring memoir that seizes the reader like a novel of suspense. When Isabel Allende's daughter, Paula, became gravely ill and fell into a coma, the author began to write the story of her family for her unconscious child. In the telling, bizarre ancestors appear before our eyes; we hear both delightful and bitter childhood memories, amazing anecdotes of youthful years, the most intimate secrets passed along in whispers. This is a powerful autobiography whose straightforward acceptance of the magical and spiritual worlds will remind readers of her first book, "The House of the Spirits."
