The End of Your Life Book Club is another interesting book about books and how reading them enables lives to be made richer. The author Will Schwalbe and his cancer-stricken dying mother share their love for books and reading. Together they go through the last years of her life spending time (usually at the care centre/medical facility) discussing books they have read and inevitably their own demanding lives as well.
Author of PS, I Love You, Cecilia Ahern wrote, 'At last a book that celebrates the role books play within our own story ... a tender, moving and honest portrayal of the precious relationship between a mother and son - an ode to that beautiful thing called love.'
The Library Journal deems it 'A perfect book-club book about books and the community they create that also portrays the love between mother and son.'
