Biography of A Friendship by Marie-Claude Arnott
Love that this memoir is realistic, the subjects go deep and long.
Marie's friend Juliette has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She lives in France and Marie visits her often, even at the end when she is there for months. She visits Juliette every day and also spends time with her ageing parents in France. Love how Juliette has found Switzerland will take her in, to return her back to France at the end. So many rules overseas and things are complicated for a US citizen.
She is able to connect with Juliette’ daughter Corinne and she brings them together.
Love the hard parts of this book- parts go back in time to help you understand about their lives throughout the story..
Especially like how the women met and their earlier years and especially the travel.
So much information about the cancer and how to get early detection, warning signs and genetic testing. Rates of survival are rising.
Reminiscing with photos at the end and hues of colors and fashion styles I can relate to.
Heartbreaking, being strong, loving, caring, tragic, a story that will stay with you when you tally up your hundreds of other books in late December.
A KEEPER!
Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.
