The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide is an astonishing account of one woman's experience of love and loss. Gambotto's insight and compassion are startling; her ability to make sense of suicide, revolutionary. Does any man have the right to dispose of his own life? This is, she writes, the ultimate debate of moral entitlement.

A MASTERPIECE!,
By Compulsive Reader (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide (Paperback)
This beautiful book was surprising in so many ways. How can something so brutal in its honesty about suicidal urges and bereavement be so comforting? "Death is not the opposite of life; the opposite of death is birth," she writes. "Life has no opposite. It is a constant, like the universe. Suicide solves nothing." Amazing stuff.
