>"What are you reading?" That's the question Will Schwalbe asks his mother, Mary Anne, as they sit in the waiting room of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. In 2007, Mary Anne returned from a humanitarian trip to Pakistan and Afghanistan suffering from what her doctors believed was a rare type of hepatitis. Months later she was diagnosed with a form of advanced pancreatic cancer, which is almost always fatal, often in six months or less. This is the inspiring true story of a son and his mother.

Breathtaking
Revisado: 10-11-12
Would you listen to The End of Your Life Book Club again? Why?
Because there was so much that I identified with, the author sentiments were so close to how I felt about my Mothers illness and death, that it literally took my breath away. Also, I wrote down most of the titles from book club (all of which I want to read) I would like to listen once again to the reasons for choosing titles.
What other book might you compare The End of Your Life Book Club to and why?
None really, because this book touched me in such a unique way, I felt it was almost written for me, it felt to me as if my Mum said "if you read these books ,they will answer all your questions"
What does Jeff Harding bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He made the book speak to me, he could have been Will Schwalbe, it was as if he was talking about his own mother
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Most of it did but especially the very last few minutes, he captured that moment when someone dies exactly as it is.
Any additional comments?
No, I would like to thank the author, Maryann was so like my own mother, some of the similarities are uncanny, even down to his Mother's concern for his insomnia. He has given me a readymade booklist, a big thanks.

It sounds like the guy is on speed, frantic voice, so far removed from calm and sleep, I cannot understand why he made cd.
