Which Latin American writer wrote a book named after her daughter?

Isabel Angélica Allende Llona is a Chilean-American writer. She was born in Lima, Peru, on August 2, 1942, while her father was serving as secretary of the Chilean embassy in that country. She is the daughter of diplomat Tomás Allende Pesce, a first cousin of Salvador Allende, president of Chile from 1970 to 1973.

Due to the coup d'état of September 11, 1973, against Salvador Allende and the subsequent dictatorship, Allende and his family fled Chile in 1975 and went into exile in Venezuela, where they lived until 1988.

Isabel Allende has worked as a screenwriter, children's author, and novelist. Among her most recognized works are: The House of the Spirits, Zorro: The Legend Begins, Eva Luna, City of the Beasts, and Paula.

Paula was a book written to heal wounds and mourn an impending death. Isabel Allende felt, and rightly so, that by writing Paula she could ensure her daughter would never be forgotten and would remain in the hearts of all who read the book. Undoubtedly, one of the greatest sorrows in Isabel Allende's life was the death of her daughter, who died of porphyria on December 6, 1992, at the age of 29.
