Descripción
Libro The sum of our days. In this heartfelt memoir, Isabel Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her own life in the wake of tragic loss—the death of her daughter, Paula. Based on the daily letters the author and her mother, who lives in Chile, wrote each other, Allende bares her soul in a book that is as exuberant and full of life as its creator. She recounts the stories of the wildly eccentric, strong-minded, and eclectic tribe she gathers around her—a tribe that becomes a new kind of family.
Throughout, Allende shares her thoughts on love, marriage, motherhood, spirituality and religion, infidelity, addiction, and memory. Here, too, are the amazing stories behind Allende’s books, the superstitions that guide her writing process, and her adventurous travels. Ultimately, The Sum of Our Days offers a unique tour of this gifted writer’s inner world and of the relationships that have become essential to her life and her work. Libro The sum of our days.

Los libros de Isabel Allende son delicias que solo me entrego de vez en cuando porque hay muchos de ellos y ella tiene 74 años (eso me preocupa). Aún así, no sé por qué me tomó tanto tiempo en leer esto, fue lanzado hace 10 años. Es maravilloso, a la altura de The House of the Spirits y Paula. Recientemente hemos tenido The Japanese Lover en la ficción, pero vamos, Isabel, necesitamos saber qué pasó después de 2006. ¿Otra memoria, por favor?
