Book Reviews of One True Thing: Love What You Have
Book Review: Powerful drama unravels itself as girl nurses dying mother.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book paints a true and sad picture of nursing a dying mother through her battle with cancer. Having always felt that she was the model of her academic aloof father, Ellen returns home, initially against her will, to care for her critically ill mother. As the two of them bond, Ellen realises the strength that she has gained from her mother and the pivotal role the older woman played in the shaping of her life, appreciating the qualities she had and the ones passed on. It is a tale of strength, courage and family love in situations that bring people together and tear them apart.All I can say is I found tears streaming down my cheeks whilst reading this book and could not put it down. I read it all through the night - it was gruelling but well worth it. Thank you Anna for bringing me back down to earth.
