Excellent homage to mother
This is a heartwarming book written by a son about a book club with his mother during the 2 years she was dying from pancreatic cancer. I expected it to be depressing but it was not. The books that they read were varied and raised a lot of questions relating to life in general. The tenderness shown was wonderful and the interrelations between the family was interesting. Will's mother was an intelligent women and had an interesting life which added to the story.
