Seller's Description:
Good. [10], 219, [11--including excerpt from We Are All Welcome Here] pages. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads: Ann--To my sweet friend--This book reminds me of the many times we had pillow talk over the years! LALU, Berg. After the author lost a very important friend to breast cancer, she wanted to write about her experience in a fictional way, to create characters and events that, although imagined, would testify to the emotional truth of all that happened. The book includes Talk Before Sleep: A Reader's Guide, A Conversation with Elizabeth Berg, and Reader's Guide Questions and Topics for Discussion. Elizabeth Berg (born December 2, 1948) is an American novelist. Berg was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA, and lived in Boston prior to her residence in Chicago. She studied English and Humanities at the University of Minnesota, but later ended up with a nursing degree. Her writing career started when she won an essay contest in Parents magazine. Since her debut novel in 1993, her novels have sold in large numbers and have received several awards and nominations. She won the New England Book Awards in 1997. The three novels Durable Goods, Joy School, and True to Form form a trilogy about the 12-year-old Katie Nash, in part based on the author's own experience as a daughter in a military family. Most recently, her essay "The Pretend Knitter" appears in the anthology Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting, published by W. W. Norton & Company in November 2013. Derived from a Kirkus review: Berg offers a tale about a woman witnessing the death of her friend from breast cancer. Ruth is a 43-year-old artist whose cancer metastasizes to her brain, her lungs, her kidneys, so that it's only a matter of time. Ruth has around-the-clock surveillance from a group of close women friends, the most important of whom is her best friend, Ann. Ann has virtually abandoned her family to share these remaining days with the only person she has ever really been able to get close to, and during this vigil she recounts their history. It turns out that Ann's life looks much like Ruth's when they first meet. Both are married, both have a child, both are unhappy, both want out. But it is Ruth who gathers the courage to leave her cold and unsympathetic husband, get her own apartment, and make a fresh start. Ultimately, Ruth does die, and Ann returns to a husband who has the compassion.
