These Precious Days (Harpers) An engaging read, serious (cancer) but not depressing.
She is just so very good at love. Doing it, and writing it. If you want more, read Lucy Grealy's Autobiography of a Face (the Lucy in the story) and then Ann's Truth & Beauty.

Every time I pick up something she writes I find it more beautiful then I expected.
Thank you for posting!

Thank you so much. I was supposed to clean my house this morning, not get stuck into a long, beautiful love story, but things have a way of working out.

j810c, I got completely absorbed in this moving, funny, surprising, deeply loving chunk of memoir. I've never read anything by Patchett before and now I feel like I already know her. What a gift!
Tom Hanks! Psilocybin! A lost cell phone! An amazing jacket! A natural disaster! Deep and surprising and nourishing friendship! There is just so much in this!
