«Le parfum de ces livres que nous avons aimés» is the memoir by Will Schwalbe, published by Belfond in paperback (413 pp., in French).
Will Schwalbe recalls the conversations he has with his mother, Mary Anne, while she undergoes chemotherapy. Together they turn their shared reading into a two-person book club: the books they discuss help them talk about family, love, death and life, and show how literature comforts, astonishes and opens us to others.
Original title: «The End of Your Life Book Club» (2012); French translation by Lyne Strouc. The work was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award in the memoir and autobiography category in 2012.
For readers interested in memoirs, books about books and book clubs, as well as family stories and grief.
