Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life: A Memoir by Delia Ephron
3.0
With a bright, striking cover, I was drawn to this memoir in the store and noticed the name “Ephron.” Sure enough, her sister was Nora – the woman that wrote so many screenplays and books I loved. Certainly, I wanted to relive some of those fun moments from a sister who may have similar ways of making me smile.
The book starts with her husband dying. Naturally she went through a serious grieving period. She remarried a man that seemed pretty perfect. Then her dog dies. And then she has a form of leukemia – one that shakes up your entire body. It could be a great book for someone that also has cancer as she describes her experience which was interesting and informative. But, she was relaying her thoughts from a dark space when there’s so much news in this world that is already quite depressing.
The end has some positive remarks. She was very fortunate to get the best care and to be surrounded by those she loved.
