Why read it?
1 author picked An Uncommon Friendship as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I found this memoir to be truly fascinating, perhaps because I am so interested in the way the mind works, as well as relationships between people.
I was particularly intrigued by the unusual glimpse into the world of mental illness described in great detail from two very different perspectives: the narrator, wife, friend, and caregiver, Monique, and her mentally ill husband, Stewart shared by way of interspersed emails and stories. Even after they divorced, Monique continued to care for Stewart through his mental illness and cancer diagnosis.
From Leila's list on death from a different perspective.
