This is a novel about friendship and family and coming together when a member of the family is dying. It is written straight from the heart.

anyone who has witnessed intense suffering and death of a loved one. It will make you feel as if you are not alone in the world.

the character of Steffi and how she finds her way to the love of her life.

read another by Jane Green. I think she is quite a storyteller.

sad and it made me remember all that happened when my mom was so sick and then passed away. I was at her bedside just like the characters are at Calli's bedside when she passes.

knows how to make you care about her chracters.

it is sad, to be sure, but it's also comforting.

This book taught me something about fiction writers who try to incorporate their political opinions in their books that have nothing to do with politics. I could have done without the nasty aside about Walter, and was offended enough that I wouldn't buy any more of Ms. Green's books (I'll wait for them to show up on the used/trade circuit from now on) Why insult some of her readers, unless she thinks that all of her readers share the name political persoective.
