Paula is a novel based on the life of Brazilian socialite Paula Cetim, who committed suicide by jumping off the roof of her twenty-second-story Paris apartment in May 1968. It is written in three parts and tells the story of how she came to this point. The novel was originally intended to be published as a newspaper serial but was turned into a novel when Allende became pregnant. In 1989 it won France's Prix Femina.
In Paula, Isabel Allende's fictionalized story of the Chilean writer Paula, she recounts the tragic life of a woman who makes her way from humble beginnings to a successful publishing career. The novel is set in Chile during the 1973 military coup, when officials threatened to arrest and interrogate Allende's husband-to-be for his socialist sympathies. Throughout this tumultuous time, Paula is faced with difficult decisions that ultimately impact her personal relationships, as well as her work as a journalist.
In Paula, Isabel Allende, the author of The House of the Spirits and most recently an Oprah Book Club selection, has created a character who is both real and impossible to define. This audiobook, narrated by Isabel Allende herself, is available in Spanish, English or Chinese.
