RaveUSA Today... [a] beautiful, poignant, darkly funny new memoir ... Bloom, a psychotherapist as well as an author, brings to her heart-rending task the skills of both professions: a clinician’s intimate knowledge of diseases of the brain and a novelist’s intuitive understanding of the human heart. To that potent mix, she throws in the sarcastic zingers and comic timing of a Borscht Belt comedian ... Bloom is terrific at sketching character ... Bloom relates the multiplying signs of Brian’s memory loss in a straightforward fashion—but with a surprising amount of suspense ... Bloom has a talent for mixing the prosaic and profound, the slapstick and the serious, which makes the book, despite its depressing subject matter, a pleasure to read. Rarely has a memoir about death been so full of life.
