Amy Bloom and Brian Ameche were a handsome couple. I know this not because there’s a photograph of them in Bloom’s new memoir.

... deeply stirring.

... [a] beautiful, poignant, darkly funny new memoir.

Bloom's memoir certainly isn't run-of-the-mill.

... [a] courageous howl of a memoir.

[Bloom] can make you laugh and break your heart in the same beat.

... a memoir with a difference, one with an ethical, emotional and philosophical edge on most grief memoirs.

Amy Bloom is known for examining the dynamics of intimate relationships in her fiction...yet never has she gotten closer to the flame than in this memoir of her marriage.

Bloom looks back on the beauty and turmoil of accompanying her husband through the final days of his life in this deeply moving memoir.

You will never forget this book, and if you do, let's hope someone close to you remembers..
