About Alice by Calvin Trillin
5.0
What a beautiful book - a love story that isn't corny, that isn't sappy - it's just beautiful and real. Anyone who is cynical about what love is, or if it can last needs to read this one. Highly recommended. (and if you want to read just two pages that completely describe just how awesome Alice was, make them 65 and 66.)
*Her identity included engagement and optimism and enthusiasm. One of the most negative words she could use in describing someone was "passive".
*Because she survived, they were exposed every day to someone who (as a friend wrote after Alice died) managed to "navigate the tricky waters between living a life you could be proud of and still delighting in the many things there are to take pleasure in."
*At some point she'd tell them that her husband always said that his idea of alternative medicine was a doctor who hadn't gone to Johns Hopkins.
