They've shared the mundane and the momentous together: trick or treating and binge drinking; Gilligan's Island reruns and REM concerts; hickeys and heartbreak; surprise Scottish wakes; marriages, infertility, and children. As Ash says, \"Edi's memory is like the back-up hard drive for mine.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut now the unthinkable has happened. Edi is dying of ovarian cancer and spending her last days at a hospice near Ash, who stumbles into heartbreak surrounded by her daughters, ex(ish) husband, dear friends, a poorly chosen lover (or two), and a rotating cast of beautifully, fleetingly human hospice characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs The Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack blasts all day long from the room next door, Edi and Ash reminisce, hold on, and try to let go. Meanwhile, Ash struggles with being an imperfect friend, wife, and parent--with life, in other words, distilled to its heartbreaking, joyful, and comedic essence.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42827278057552,"sku":"9780063230897B","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780063230897-l.jpg?v=1785909557"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/collections\/catherine-newman.oembed","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
