In 'The Sum of Our Days', Isabel Allende candidly narrates the recent history of her life and that of her peculiar family in California. In an open house, full of people and literary characters, the author recounts lost daughters, grandchildren, books being born, successes and sorrows. A journey into the world of addictions and others to remote places in search of inspiration, along with divorces, encounters, loves, separations, couple crises and reconciliations. This work is a love story between a mature man and woman, who together have overcome many obstacles without losing either passion or humor, and of a modern family, torn apart by conflicts and united, despite everything, by affection and the decision to move forward. An emotional work written in the ironic and passionate tone that characterizes the author, in which she delivers the sum of her days as a woman and as a writer.
