    It's a Book Swap!

    Books, food, wine & witty repartee.

    Now that we've expanded our section for adults, it's time for some grown-up fun!

    Bring a book that you've read and enjoyed but can part with, enjoy a glass of wine or two (specially selected for us by Valerie Evans of The Grapevine), and nibble some tasty treats from Opa's. Tell us a little about the book you bring to trade and let us know about your favorite new discovery. (Sort of like a book club but we've all read different books.)

    Our special guest is Zoe Carter, author of Imperfect Endings: A Daughter's Tale of Life & Death, a memoir about a family coming to terms with the mother's death after a long and difficult illness.


    This is what the critics are saying about Imperfect Endings:

    "Imperfect Endings raises difficult questions about love and loyalty, but it is written with such style and sympathy that it is difficult to put down.” - San Francisco Chronicle.com

    Receive a 10% discount on all purchases made during the book swap!

    $25.00 ~ RSVP as space is limited.

     

    Imperfect Endings: A Daughter's Tale of Life and Death (Hardcover)

    By Zoe FitzGerald Carter
    $25.00
    ISBN-13: 9781439148242
    Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days
    Published: Simon & Schuster, 3/2010
    Other Editions of this Title

    What the critics are saying-

    "I could quote from the book all day. . . but instead I'll just recommend that those intrigued by the subject spend a little time with the ailing but ferocious Margaret and her daughters. A decision to die can sound romantic or it can sound repugnant. Carter shows us what it was like in reality."
    —Paula Span, The New York Times

    "First-time memoirist Carter comes close to perfection in this chronicle of her mother’s quest to orchestrate her own assisted suicide. . . .With surprising humor and sensitivity, Carter presents the struggle to come to terms with mortality and family dynamics." - Library Journal (starred review)
