• Helen Stevenson Paula: A Memoir (P.S.) Isabel Allende   Paula is a profoundly moving book and everyone should read it. In the midst of so much sadness, Allende has produced a work full of courage, grace and truth, and affirmation of vitality, which echoesall the more joyfully for being uttered in the valley of death.

• Anvar Khan Paula: A Memoir (P.S.) Isabel Allende   A remarkable work, combining autobiographical detail, peasant superstition, political documentary, intertwining destiny, tragedy, generations of storytelling and humour. Stand back and admire Allende's talent, her literary ability even more potent for being stripped and harnessed in personal despair.

• Amanda Hopkinson Paula: A Memoir (P.S.) Isabel Allende   Paula is much more than a letter to a departed child... The book offers a fantastical family history, with flights of imagination unsurpassed by Allende since The House of the Spirits.

• E. Jane Dickson Paula: A Memoir (P.S.) Isabel Allende   Allende is incapable of telling a bad story. She writes of her own experience with a kind of wild candour. Her heroically sustained narrative, her lovingly prepared plots and surprise inventions explode in an exaltation.
