'For those who have suffered for and in love, this may prove to be one of the most useful books they will ever read' - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian. An extraordinary and consoling celebration of life, this memoir reflects on childhood, faith, family, love, friendship, pain, and loss, written as the author faced her own mortality. Gillian Rose, a star academic and original thinker, was diagnosed with incurable cancer, prompting her to explore the world and herself in a new light. Tender, heartbreakingly honest, and infused with surprising humor, this work is the exhilarating result. Rose recounts her journey from a young dyslexic girl caught between her father and stepfather to an adolescent grappling with her Jewish heritage. As an adult, she emerges as a passionate friend, seeker of truth, and a woman in love, ultimately becoming an exacting yet generous patient. Intertwining the personal with the philosophical, she meditates on faith, conflict, injustice, and the complexities of love, reflecting on our desire for independence and connection. With droll self-awareness--'I am highly qualified in unhappy love affairs'--and unsettling wisdom--'To live, to love, is to be failed'--the memoir poses the profound question: how is a life best lived?
