Synopsis
THE SUM OF OUR DAYS opens with Isabel Allende writing a letter to her dead daughter Paula, describing what has happened in the years since she died (as described in Allende's previous memoir, PAULA). Death, tragedy, and upheaval play a major role in Allende's memoir--a junkie stepdaughter loses a child, her son's wife reveals she is a lesbian and leaves him, not to mention her family members who were killed after her uncle Salvadore Allende was deposed from office in the Chilean coup--but her writing teems with vitality, and Allende seems to embrace life in all its color, richness, and tragedy. This memoir is exhilarating, tragic, and funny, a true ode to family and love.
