ISABEL ALLENDE reads from The Sum of Our Days: A Memoir
THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT! (as of 5 pm on Tues., April 8th)
Harvard Book Store is most pleased to welcome Chilean novelist and memoirist extraordinaire ISABEL ALLENDE to read from her latest memoir The Sum of Our Days. In The Sum of Our Days, Allende reconstructs the painful reality of her own life in the wake of the tragic death of her daughter, Paula. Recalling the past thirteen years from the daily letters the author and her mother, who lives in Chile, wrote to each other, Allende bares her soul in a book that is as exuberant and full of life as its creator. And she recounts stories of the wildly eccentric, strong-minded, and eclectic tribe she gathers around her that becomes a new kind of family. Throughout, Allende shares her thoughts on love, marriage, motherhood, spirituality, infidelity, addiction, and memory. Here, too, are the amazing stories behind Allende’s books, the superstitions that guide her writing process, and her adventurous travels. Ultimately, The Sum of Our Days offers a unique tour of this writer’s inner world and of the relationships that have become essential to her life and her work.
