What begins as an unofficial book club while Will Schwalbe accompanies his mother, Mary Anne, to her cancer treatments soon becomes essential to the pair during her final two years. The passion they share for literature helps them navigate — through the lens of their favourite characters — the roller coaster of emotions they experience as Mary Anne's own story draws inevitably to a close.
The End Of Your Life Book Club, Will Schwalbe, $30.
