Not an easy read, cancer is never an easy topic but Australian author, Helen Garner, does it with style.
A
friend, dying of cancer, comes to stay. That's a difficult topic to write
about, and when the friend is simply a pushover for any 'alternative'
treatments the scene is set for a struggle.
Cry, laugh - yes, laugh - and enjoy this sensitively handled look at death, friends dying, cancer and hope.
