Will Schwalbe
People who love books will love this book. This is a memoir written by Schwalbe about the two years between when his mother was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer and when she passed. During those two years, the two of them engaged in a personal book club with just the two of them. The memoir is both a fascinating introspection about the end of life and familial relationships and a great survey of the books these two encountered. It is not a series of book reports, but the themes that arise in their discussions of the books are the same themes the arise in their lives, giving insights to each reader that are often unexpected and necessary voices to be heard. Books are held in reverence in their own right, and this is well communicated throughout. Loved this.
