The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A wonderful memoir about Mary Ann Schwalbe and written by her son Will. This lady had an amazing life. She cared so much about everyone and everything. She worked for refugees, was a teacher, was a great parent, and so much more.
The book details her life from the time she is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and the books that she and her son read during the treatment times.
They read together, many of the books that are my favourites as well.
The truly great thing was how she kept up her fight and kept living right up to the very end and always kept cheerful so that she didn't bring others down.
A thoroughly good read and a reminder to us all.
