How Linda Died

the long version

"How Linda Died is Frank Davey's account of his wife's decline and death from a brain tumor. What makes this book so special is the life-defining contrasts it records, often in a single breath. At once a shattering portrayal of one woman's death and an obsessive record of one man's self-interrogation amidst a welter of conflicting emotions, How Linda Died is a memoir, beautiful in its morbidity and searing in its relentless refusal to sidestep the truth."--BOOK JACKET.
