Brenda Walker

An accomplished writer using an easy style and great word imagery.
She uses the situations and characters in books she has read to imaginatively describe her journey through the trial of breast cancer. Detection, treatment, recovery and survival.
Her prolific consumption of books is displayed like a reading list and mini reviews, highlighting the situations and emotions she went through.
A very good book.

The story of a woman's journey through Breast Cancer from diagnosis to recovery/remission and how she was sustained by books and reading. A very thought provoking book.

Brenda Walker takes us through her diagnosis of breast cancer, the treatment she received and her recovery. Along the way she talks about particular authors and books who helped her get through her ordeal. A lovely, thoughtful book which speaks to me on a number of different levels.
