I felt that this was the most honest part of the book. The rest - about the adult children - was typical of adults concerned more about themselves then another person. It was an interesting and well written story of a life, and the memories, accomplishments, and regrets one makes in life. I also listened to the book, and at the end is the song Dava. (  ) rmarcin | Apr 20, 2022 | To be fair, one unusual aspect of this book, which sets it apart from traditional "chick lit," is the emphasis on how rock music plays a major role in the protagonist's life and world view. If this book helps introduce more readers to the magic and wonder of my favorite band, the Replacements, then I consider it a success. ...Perhaps that means I am the right audience for this book! Recommended for all libraries. (  ) librarianarpita | Feb 19, 2022 |  ) Hccpsk | Dec 23, 2021 |  ) joyblue | Dec 4, 2021 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Dava Shastri, one of the world's wealthiest women, has always lived with her sterling reputation in mind. A brain cancer diagnosis at the age of seventy, however, changes everything, as she decides to take her death-like all matters of her life-into her own hands. Summoning her four adult children to her private island, she discloses shocking news: in addition to having a terminal illness, she has arranged for the news of her death to break early, so she can read her obituaries. As someone who dedicated her life to the arts and the empowerment of women, Dava expects to read articles lauding her philanthropic work. Instead, her "death" reveals two devastating secrets, truths she thought she had buried forever. And now the whole world knows, including her children. In the time she has left, Dava must come to terms with the decisions that have led to this moment-and make peace with those closest to her before it's too late. Compassionately written and chock-full of humor and heart, this powerful novel examines public versus private legacy, the complexities of love, and the never-ending joys-and frustrations-of family"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

It kept going back between “now” which was 2044 and then which I think was 2015 or before. Not sure why it was set in 2044 but maybe that will come out in the end.
I had about 130 pages left and felt like giving it up. I did struggle through it just to finish it since I was pretty close I guess to the end but I knew I could read 100+ pages in a day as always. I'm glad I stuck with it since the last 100 pages were meaningful. (
