The End of Your Life Book Club
Trade Paperback
Mary Anne Schwalbe is waiting for her chemotherapy treatments when Will casually asks her what she's reading. The conversation they have grows into tradition: soon they are reading the same books so they can have something to talk about in the hospital waiting room. Their choices range from classic (HOWARD'S END) to popular (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO), from fantastic (THE HOBBIT) to spiritual (JON KABAT-ZINN), with many in between. We hear their passion for reading and their love for each other in their intimate and searching discussions.
A profoundly moving testament to the power of love between a child and parent, and the power of reading in our lives.Buy now!
