Val, you could read it. He may have been a neurosurgeon but he really was a writer. His wife finishing at the end kinda broke me a bit. But it’s worth it.
Sandra, I know this is a powerful and moving story with such an inevitable ending, and for that reason I have not chosen to read it. Years ago, I read the book written by a man dying of pancreatic cancer, but can't recall the title or author. It was also a best selling book.
Beatrice, it's so well written it doesn't leave you feeling despondent. The saddest part was the end, with his wife talking about him on a personal level. He was a very good writer.
glad you enjoyed your read.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ivy. It was absorbing.

Dawn, yes he died in 2015. It is a powerful story. It’s still sitting with me.
