IN LOVE - AMY BLOOM KARTONIERT (TB)

Shortlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize for Non-Fiction 2023  New York Times Bestseller    A
poignant love letter to Bloom's husband and a passionate outpouring of grief  In Love reaffirms
the power and value of human relationships.   In January 2020  Amy Bloom travelled with her
husband Brian to Switzerland  where he was helped by Dignitas to end his life while Amy sat
with him and held his hand. Brian was terminally ill and for the last year of his life Amy had
struggled to find a way to support his wish to take control of his death  to not submerge 'into
the darkness of an expiring existence'.   Written with piercing insight and wit  In Love is
Bloom's intimate  authentic and startling account of losing Brian  first slowly to the disease
of Alzheimer's  and then on becoming a widow. It charts the anxiety and pain of the process
that led them to Dignitas  while never avoiding the complex ethical problems that are raised by
assisted death.  ' Poignant  kind  funny and ultimately redemptive ' - Alain de Botton  author
of The Course of Love    ' In Love is a thrillingly beautiful  laser-eyed book about love  life
mortality and  most remarkably  about the ways in which no one of the three can be separated
from the others' - Michael Cunningham  author of The Hours and A Home at the End of the World
