I can't wait to read it! I have been reading more non-fiction lately, so have been kind of slogging through it, but it would be nice to have something that really captured my interest for a change!

I will add it to my list! That is so interesting that it's actually a work of fiction. I always used to think this book was a true story or a memoir.

Weekly I will see a husband care for his spouse he dementia with the most delicate love, and she doesn't even know his name anymore. I've had many moments where I've had to excuse myself from the room because my eyes fill with tears. <br /><br />It is such a heartbreaking disease. My heart hurts for your friend who has a family member going through this. <br /><br />I pray our developing world with strong research can somehow come up with a cure for alzheimers during our time!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-59785719291844489762013-05-09T20:42:41.290-05:002013-05-09T20:42:41.290-05:00I have had this book on my shelf to read for YEARS...I have had this book on my shelf to read for YEARS and have been waiting for a good review to pop up and push me to read it.

I would certainly add it to my list.

But as hard as they are for me to read, they also wind up being some of my favorite books (A Thousand Splendid Suns is one of those). <br /><br />I love book review posts, but they tend to be my least commented posts, too. Ah, well! They're fun for me. :)Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-85067845321127428582013-05-09T09:39:08.111-05:002013-05-09T09:39:08.111-05:00Haven't read this one yet; just reading what y...Haven't read this one yet; just reading what you wrote about it makes me all weepy! I hear it's amazing and considering I've liked every book you've recommended, I'm sure I would like this one, too. <br /><br />Those Who Save Us really impacted me and also The Promise of Stardust that I reviewed earlier this year. That book, just wow. Similar in that it makes you think about what would you do if something were to happen (such as be pregnant but in a vegetative state), living wills, family planning, ethics, morals, religion. It had it all. I couldn't put it down, it was so good. Also one of those books that makes you uncomfortable. <br /><br />I always enjoy book review posts. I'm a book nerd like that ;) Norahttp://walkingwithnora.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-63456146058831664672013-05-09T09:29:52.361-05:002013-05-09T09:29:52.361-05:00I really want to read this book.

When I met her mom at my friends wedding in September, I was immediately heartbroken. I cannot imagine how hard this would be and I pray that those close to me never have to suffer through this, but I know that is not likely. <br /><br />I love your book recommendations as well! Book posts are always among my favorites. :) Amber @ A Little Pink in the Cornfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898255649481697297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-51354353411383735012013-05-09T05:47:48.314-05:002013-05-09T05:47:48.314-05:00I'm so glad you loved this book as much as I d...I'm so glad you loved this book as much as I did. I agree it was a hard read, but I think the author did a good job making it not just super depressing throughout- I found the storyline with her kids to be a really interesting one too. <br /><br />Also, I personally LOVE your book reviews! and always appreciate any book suggestions from you.
