An interesting reflection on watching your mother away. But, I don't know.... I do myself to be more critical of shorter books. I found myself yearning for more while reading and at times it felt a bit self-indulgent. It had the potential to destroy me... but did not. I can see why people love it though, it's raw and emotional and beautiful. Just wasn't the best for me.

"When someone you love dies you pay for the sin of outliving her with a thousand piercing regrets. Her death brings to light her unique quality; she grows as vast as the world that her absence annihilates for her and whose whole existence was caused by her being there; you feel that she should have had more room in your life –all the room, if need be. You snatch yourself away from this wildness: she was only one among many. But since you never do all you might for anyone –not even within the arguable limits that you have set yourself –you have plenty of room left for self-reproach."
