This is a book - not only a very good novel, one of those you can't put down - but a book that makes you think. Gladys' illness (cancer) is frightening, as is the amount of money Shep, her husband, has to spend in order to do . . . what? Give her a few more painful months to live? It asks all the good questions about life, death, love and what is worth it. Read it.
