Sinopse

In a surprising autobiographical publication, Isabel Allende candidly narrates her life over the last two decades.

A memoir in which Isabel Allende, author of such best-selling books as *The House of the Spirits* , *Of Love and Shadow* , and *Inés of My Soul *, tells the recent story of her life. In *The Sum of the Days *, Allende revisits the narrative of *Paula *, her first autobiographical work, recalling the events following the loss of her daughter to a rare disease.

The Sum of Days is, in essence, the love story between a woman and a man—Allende is married to William C. Gordon, a lawyer and writer—who, surrounded by a large, modern family, have overcome many obstacles together without losing their passion and humor. "We love each other and choose to live this way, close," the author said in an interview, regarding her home always being filled with family and friends. "We receive and immediately think about returning the love. There is trust, respect, and good intentions between us. We are loyal to each other, we defend our small community and try to enrich it. We celebrate each other and help each other in times of sadness."

In addition to the many intimate and family revelations, letters, conversations, and memories, both happy and not so happy, the author paints a comprehensive picture of American society over the last two decades, from the perspective of a Chilean woman living in California. With the characteristic emotional and ironic prose that is a hallmark of her writing, Isabel Allende speaks of successes, pains, books, drugs, disappointments, passions, and travels. In some of these, Allende visited Brazil, where she marveled at the Amazon, visited a loving Jorge Amado in Bahia, and experienced tense moments in Rio de Janeiro.

The sum of the days brings together, in a peculiar narrative, episodes and sensations that marked Isabel Allende's life as a writer and, mainly, as a woman and character in the globalized and contemporary world.
