The Sum of Our Days

By: Isabel Allende

Narrated by: Isabel Allende, Blair Brown

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.

Extraordinary!

So much is packed in this book - history - family and political, very interesting and entertaining look into the author’s life.

A gorgeous listen

I hope we can all learn from this life well lived and graciously examined and presented. What a gift.

It’s like having Isabel in your living room sharing her life story

Highly recommend it, if you are curious and eager to know and learn about Isabel’ world.

Another beautiful memoir

I feel that I know Isabel and her family. I have read her books from the first one on. She’s a treasure.

Wonderful book

Allende is an amazing storyteller! The narration is very good and clear. Like a mix of her other books.
