具体描述

During her treatment for cancer, Mary Anne Schwalbe and her son Will spent many hours sitting in waiting rooms together. To pass the time, they would talk about the books they were reading. Once, by chance, they read the same book at the same time—and an informal book club of two was born. Through their wide-ranging reading, Will and Mary Anne—and we, their fellow readers—are reminded how books can be comforting, astonishing, and illuminating, changing the way that we feel about and interact with the world around us. A profoundly moving memoir of caregiving, mourning, and love—The End of Your Life Book Club is also about the joy of reading, and the ways that joy is multiplied when we share it with others.

用户评价

I want to have a relationship with my son like the one the author has with his mother.

真是“如何说再见”的最佳典范。一直以为这书作者是女的，看到一多半才发现原来“我”是儿子

治愈系，面临死亡却不狗血不滥情，平实温馨，兼有好书推荐，读书是既个人又孤独的体验，所以更要珍惜身边的书友

给了我莫大的鼓励和安慰。即使生命消失，留下的还有文字。
