''A wonderful book about wonderful books and mothers and sons
and the enduring braid between them.'' - Mitch Albom, author of
Tuesdays With Morrie
''I was so moved by this marvellous book. Schwalbe has done
something extraordinary: made a personal journey public in the most
engaging, funny and revealing way possible. It is a true meditation
on what books can do.'' -- Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with
Amber Eyes ''Will Schwalbe gives us two love stories in one: That of
his relationship
內容簡介：
作者与身患绝症的母亲关于书、关于书背后的生命的对话
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 Howards 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.
