THE SUM OF OUR DAYS is terrific. It s funny, insightful, moving and filled with Allende s unique voice. Her confiding tone invites readers into her mind, her heart, her family, her past...A satisfying heart-to-heart with a wise friend. (Deirdre Donahue, USA Today)

At the end of this funny, tender book you may find yourself wanting your own invitation to sit and laugh and scream at the author s table. Allende s writing is the main feast...No matter how often relatives stumble or screw up, Allende lovingly takes them, and her reader, into her embrace. A- (Entertainment Weekly)
