Klappentext zu „The Sum of Our Days: A Memoir “
Narrated with warmth, humor, exceptional candor and wisdom, The Sum of Our Days is a portrait of a contemporary family, tied together by the love, strong will, and stubborn determination of a beloved matriarch, the indomitable New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende."An inspiring and thought-provoking work." -Denver Post
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 as full of life as its creator. Allende bares her soul while sharing 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.

Rezension zu „The Sum of Our Days: A Memoir “
"THE SUM OF OUR DAYS is terrific. It's funny, insightful, moving and filled with Allende's unique voice. Her confiding tone invites readers into her mind, her heart, her family, her past...A satisfying heart-to-heart with a wise friend." - Deirdre Donahue, USA Today "At the end of this funny, tender book you may find yourself wanting your own invitation to sit and laugh and scream at the author's table. Allende's writing is the main feast...No matter how often relatives stumble or screw up, Allende lovingly takes them, and her reader, into her embrace. A-" - Entertainment Weekly "...Ms.Allende...executes this epistolary memoir with the same authenticity and poetry that grace her fiction...Ms. Allende is a survivor worth reading and emulating." - Dallas Morning NewsKommentar zu "The Sum of Our Days: A Memoir"
