I have read a book called “Paula” and its author is Isabel Allende. I really liked this book because shows the love that one mother can have to her daughter and all the effort she can do to make her daughter survive. Also it shows the courage that Isabel has to surpass the pain and all problems that were coming with Paula’s disease.

At the same time, Allende tells the story of Chile, when they were in politic problems and then there was the dictatorship. It was a terrible time because a lot of people died and there was a great crisis in that country.
