　'A wonderful book about wonderful books and mothers and sonsand the enduring braid between them.' - Mitch Albom, author ofTuesdays With Morrie

'A wonderful book about wonderful books and mothers and sons
and the enduring braid between them.' - Mitch Albom, author of
Tuesdays With Morrie
　'I was so moved by this marvellous book. Schwalbe has done
something extraordinary: made a personal journey public in the most
engaging, funny and revealing way possible. It is a true meditation
on what books can do.' -- Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with
Amber Eyes 'Will Schwalbe gives us two love stories in one: That of
his relationship with his dynamo of a mother as her horizons
shrink, and that of their mutual devotion to the printed word,
infinitely and insistently engaging. Tender and touching and
beautifully done.' -- Stacy Schiff, Pulitzer Prize winning author
of Cleopatra 'A perfect book-club book about books and the
community they create that also portrays the love between mother
and son.' -- Library Journal 'Will Schwalbe's brave and soulful
elegy to his remarkable mother, his recollection of their
sparklingly literate conversations, is a timely reminder that one
exceptional person, or one exceptional book, can be a torch in the
darkness. You'll turn the last page wishing you'd met Mary Anne
Schwalbe, vowing to be worthy of her incandescent example - and
promising yourself to read more.' -- J. R. Moehringer, author of
The Tender Bar 'A wonderful book about wonderful books and mothers
and sons and the enduring braid between them. Like the printed
volumes it celebrates, this story will stay with you long after the
last page.' -- Mitch Albom, author of Tuesdays With Morrie and The
Time Keeper 'At last a book that celebrates the role books play
within our own story. Will Schwalbe has created a tender, moving
and honest portrayal of the precious relationship between a mother
and son - an ode to that beautiful thing called love.' -- Cecilia
Ahern, author of PS, I Love You 'an astonishing, pertinent, and
wonderfully welcome work.' -- Publishers Weekly starred review 'An
extraordinarily wise, witty, and quietly wrenching book about
parental love, filial love, profound grief, and literature's great
consolations. How wonderful to encounter a writer who combines
erudition with great emotional honesty, and who isn't afraid of
addressing life's most profound and baffling questions.' -- Douglas
Kennedy, author of Leaving the World and The Pursuit of Happiness
'This touching and insightful memoir about the slow process of
dying will appeal to readers of Tuesdays With Morrie and The Last
Lecture, but also to people who love delving into books and book
discussions. Like Mary Anne, who reads the ending first, you know
how this book is going to end, but while it is a story about death,
it is mostly a celebration of life and of the way books can enrich
it.' -- Booklist (starred review) 'a moving and inspiring story' --
Choice Magazine 'What self-respecting reader isn't a sucker for a
great book about other great books? The End of Your Life Book Club
is that much and more.' -- BookPage 'a graceful, affecting
testament to a mother and a life well lived.' -- Entertainment
Weekly 'a tribute to a remarkable woman and an exemplary reader.'
-- Salon 'Literature bridges generations in Will Schwalbe's
thoughtful tribute to his late mother' -- Vogue.com 'A truly
poignant read ... a moving tribute to a wonderful-sounding mum and
the power of fiction.' -- Good Housekeeping 'It helps of course if
you are a book lover and can relate to the passion for reading, but
even prolific readers will find that the book teaches them not only
about life and death but about the power of a really good book to
move you and peel off the onion skin layers of "what you already
know" and reveal truths.' -- Curious Book Fans 'a life-enhancing
celebration of the power of books and reading, very much in the
vein of Tuesdays with Morrie' -- Independent
