Sum of Our Days: A Memoir
Sum of Our Days: A Memoir | Isabel Allende
5 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
In The Sum of Our Days, internationally acclaimed author Isabel Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her own life in the wake of the tragic death of her daughter, Paula. Narrated with warmth, humor, exceptional candor, and wisdom, this remarkable memoir is as exuberant and full of life as its creator. Allende bares her soul as she shares her thoughts on love, marriage, motherhood, spirituality and religion, infidelity, addiction, and memory--and recounts stories of the wildly eccentric, strong-minded, and eclectic tribe she gathers around her and lovingly embraces as a new kind of family.

Pickpick

(Nothing to do with Christmas, but the book cover is boring.) Allende writes as a letter to her daughter Paula, who has died. But it‘s neither maudlin nor sentimental. She bares details of her life that I never would (and I couldn‘t live in such confusion and chaos!) all the while making you love the people she loves. #authoramonth @Soubhiville

Starting my #bookspin and #authoramonth book this afternoon after I FINALLY found it on my unorganized shelves three days later. (I think I have my New Years project for 2022.)😀

AmyG Ha! When you KNOW you have a book but don‘t know in which shelf it is. That‘s me, too. 2y

Was so excited to tumble upon a signed copy of a book by my favorite author at The Strand awhile back. In addition to writing great fiction Allende has also written some memoirs.
