I just adore Sigrid Nunez - Paula HawkinsI was totally overwhelmed by this extraordinary novel. Even if it werent about a subject dear to my heart I would be equally thrilled by its grace and profundity. Sentence by sentence its a total joy - and sometimes, much to my surprise, laugh-out-loud funny - Deborah MoggachIf the meaning of life is that it ends, Nunez gets to the nub of meaning in her brilliant novel. I loved it as much as The Friend - Susie SteinerDryly funny and deeply tender - Kirkus Reviews (Starred)Spectacular - Publishers WeeklySigrid Nunez orchestrates a beautiful chorus of humanness here, and the novel asks a question we might all be thinking in these distant times: What does it mean to really be there for someone in times of hardship? - LithubWith both compassion and joy, Nunez contemplates how we survive lifes certain suffering, and dont, with words and one another - Booklist (starred review)Much as in Rachel Cusks recent work, the narrator is a conduit and sounding board for the stories of others... Deeply empathetic without being sentimental, this novel explores womens lives, their choices, and how they support one another....Highly recommended for readers who favour emotional resonance over escapism during difficult times - Library Journal (starred review) Long Description **THE BRAND-NEW NOVEL BY THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER** A woman visits a friend with terminal cancer.
