Paula (Arabic Book)

Paula is the daughter of Isabelle Allende, who passed away in 1992 after a long struggle with porphyria - a disease I had not heard of or its symptoms before, as translated by Salih Al-Almani. Paula is absent in this book, just as she was absent from consciousness due to the illness. However, present in both cases is Isabelle, her constant companion to her twenty-eight-year-old daughter - when she passed away - in the hospital, mentioning her only briefly, but discussing herself and Chile extensively in this book.
