A string of thought written to show the anger, sadness, and confusion someone may go through when they are confronted with an inevitable death. Very sad and rich in emotion, I appreciate the more raw experience.

A slim a volume about the pain and confusion of living with a dying partner. One night after four years together, Orstavik's husband vomits blood. Soon they discover he has pancreatic cancer and what follows is surgery, treatments, pain meds, and pretending things will get better. The book is an attempt to honour their love, capture what remains of their life together & to say all that goes unsaid. It is very sad and beautifully written.
