Ms. Oates was devastated to lose the man she loved as well as her best friend. In this memoir, is Ms. Oates at her most raw and vulnerable. She openly talks about realizing that she was both depressed and suicidal after his death. She describes these feelings so well that you feel her angst with her.
While this book gives you an idea of what her husband was like, this is not a memoir of him so much as it is a memoir of what happened to her when he died.
It is because of these things that I found this book so compelling.
I actually have two of these books. If you would like my extra copy - e-mail me. First come, first serve. Either way, don't miss out on this extraordinary book.
