This is the inspiring true and bittersweet story of a son and his mother who start a 2-person book club that brings them together as her life comes to a close. As they sit in the waiting room of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Will Schwalbe asks his mother, Mary Anne, “What are you reading?” In 2007, Mary Anne returned from a humanitarian trip to Pakistan and Afghanistan suffering from what her doctors believed was a rare type of hepatitis. Months later she was diagnosed with a form of advanced pancreatic cancer, which is almost always fatal, often in six months or less. Over the next two years, Will and Mary Anne carry on conversations that are moving, reflective and deeply personal, prompted by an eclectic array of books and a shared passion for reading.
So it's a book about books, exploring the power of books, reading them discussing them and integrating them into our lives and the lives of others.
