Why I recommend it
Kalanithi writes about moving from treating illness to living with a terminal diagnosis. It’s a moving account of work, family, and meaning.
What stayed with me
A life can still have purpose when the future we imagined is no longer possible. Uncertainty doesn’t put living on hold.
Who it’s useful for
Memoir readers and anyone thinking about medicine and mortality.
A tension or limitation
The subject may be especially hard in fresh grief. The book also leaves questions unfinished because the life ends.
