　作者与身患绝症的母亲关于书、关于书背后的生命的对话

Mary Anne Schwalbe is waiting for her chemotherapy treatments

when Will casually asks her what she's reading. The conversation

they have grows into tradition: soon they are reading the same

books so they can have something to talk about in the hospital

waiting room. Their choices range from classic (Howards End) to

popular (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), from fantastic (The

Hobbit) to spiritual (Jon Kabat-Zinn), with many in between. We

hear their passion for reading and their love for each other in

their intimate and searching discussions.

A profoundly moving testament to the power of love between a

child and parent, and the power of reading in our lives.

　'A wonderful book about wonderful books and mothers and sons

and the enduring braid between them.' - Mitch Albom, author of

Tuesdays With Morrie

　'I was so moved by this marvellous book. Schwalbe has done

something extraordinary: made a personal journey public in the most

engaging, funny and revealing way possible. It is a true meditation

on what books can do.' -- Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with

Amber Eyes 'Will Schwalbe gives us two love stories in one: That of

his relationship with his dynamo of a mother as her horizons

shrink, and that of their mutual devotion to the printed word,

infinitely and insistently engaging. Tender and touching and

beautifully done.' -- Stacy Schiff, Pulitzer Prize winning author

of Cleopatra 'A perfect book-club book about books and the

community they create that also portrays the love between mother

and son.' -- Library Journal 'Will Schwalbe's brave and soulful

elegy to his remarkable mother, his recollection of their

sparklingly literate conversations, is a timely reminder that one

exceptional person, or one exceptional book, can be a torch in the

darkness. You'll turn the last page wishing you'd met Mary Anne

Schwalbe, vowing to be worthy of her incandescent example - and

promising yourself to read more.' -- J. R. Moehringer, author of

The Tender Bar 'A wonderful book about wonderful books and mothers

and sons and the enduring braid between them. Like the printed

volumes it celebrates, this story will stay with you long after the

last page.' -- Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays With Morrie and The

Time Keeper 'At last a book that celebrates the role books play

within our own story. Will Schwalbe has created a tender, moving

and honest portrayal of the precious relationship between a mother

and son - an ode to that beautiful thing called love.' -- Cecilia

Ahern, author of PS, I Love You 'an astonishing, pertinent, and

wonderfully welcome work.' -- Publishers Weekly starred review 'An

extraordinarily wise, witty, and quietly wrenching book about

parental love, filial love, profound grief, and literature's great

consolations. How wonderful to encounter a writer who combines

erudition with great emotional honesty, and who isn't afraid of

addressing life's most profound and baffling questions.' -- Douglas

Kennedy, author of Leaving the World and The Pursuit of Happiness

'This touching and insightful memoir about the slow process of

dying will appeal to readers of Tuesdays With Morrie and The Last

Lecture, but also to people who love delving into books and book

discussions. Like Mary Anne, who reads the ending first, you know

how this book is going to end, but while it is a story about death,

it is mostly a celebration of life and of the way books can enrich

it.' -- Booklist (starred review) 'a moving and inspiring story' --

Choice Magazine 'What self-respecting reader isn't a sucker for a

great book about other great books? The End of Your Life Book Club

is that much and more.' -- BookPage 'a graceful, affecting

testament to a mother and a life well lived.' -- Entertainment

Weekly 'a tribute to a remarkable woman and an exemplary reader.'

-- Salon 'Literature bridges generations in Will Schwalbe's

thoughtful tribute to his late mother' -- Vogue.com 'A truly

poignant read ... a moving tribute to a wonderful-sounding mum and

the power of fiction.' -- Good Housekeeping 'It helps of course if

you are a book lover and can relate to the passion for reading, but

even prolific readers will find that the book teaches them not only

about life and death but about the power of a really good book to

move you and peel off the onion skin layers of "what you already

know" and reveal truths.' -- Curious Book Fans 'a life-enhancing

celebration of the power of books and reading, very much in the

vein of Tuesdays with Morrie' -- Independent

relationship with his dynamo of a mother as her horizons shrink,

and that of their mutual devotion to the printed word, infinitely
