This was a well written book that just happened to fall in two of my least favorite categories: Sisters Dying/Dead of Cancer, and Stuff I Did for a Whole Year.
That being said, it was a very NICE example of a book in those two genres, and was enthusiastically recommended to me... So it may be a good pick for you.
My favorite part of the book was the literary quotes and book references worked into the discussion. Also, she includes her book list at the end. That part should appeal to any bibliophile, regardless of subject matter hangups ;)
