(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
