This review is from: Is There Anything You Want? (Hardcover)
When I first realised that this book was centered on a group of women connected to a cancer clinic, in a hospital in a small town, my first reaction was one of dismay, thinking that it was going to be a totally depressing read, and wondering whether or not to continue. I'm so glad that I did as it's nothing like that at all. The women concerned are recovering patients, a doctor, a "Friend", one of the volunteers who help patients in a hospital, and their families. They are fairly normal, ordinary people who, on the surface, appear to be leading ordinary lives, but, beneath the surface of their facade, are seething, roiling hotbeds of fear, anger and frustration, just just awaiting release. It's a well written, thought provoking book which deserves to be read by anyone with a friend or relative who has been touched by serious illness, even if it appears that they are coping well, and isn't a bit depressing or maudlin.
