Description

'No amount of acrobatics can out do the absolute core of Allende's talent: her gift for writing' The Times

In the wake of the tragic death of her daughter, Paula, Isabel Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her own life.

Allende bares her soul while sharing her thoughts on love, motherhood, spirituality, addiction and memory. She recounts stories of the wildly eccentric and eclectic tribe she became a part of, and how she lovingly embraced them as a new kind of family.

Told with warmth, exceptional candour and wisdom, this remarkable memoir is as exuberant and full of life as its creator.
