In A Class of Its Own
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I found this book both beautifully written, compelling at every turn, and utterly unusual. By highlighting the realities of living while dying, it demonstrates to anyone willing to listen, that death is indeed very much a part of life. It is not even a little bit preachy, but rather a "what we went through" and "how we did it" that is at once mundane, profound, and nakedly self-disclosing.
Powerful moving text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a co-created narrative, two voices on cancer: the patient and the patient's significant other. It is an autoethnography on death and surviving the loss of a loved one. It shows us how to go on, no matter how painful that is, and how we can learn and grow through loss.
