Arrived in a large box of books that lovemylife sent last week.

Book description:


When Abigail Thomas's husband, Rich, was hit by a car, his skull was shattered, his brain severely damaged. Subject to rages, terrors, and hallucinations, he was sent to live in a nursing facility that specializes in treating traumatic brain injuries. He had no memory of what he did the hour, the day, the year before. This tragedy is the ground on which Abigail had to build a new life.

How she built that life is a story of great courage and change, of moving to a small country town, of a new family composed of three dogs, knitting, and friendship, of facing down guilt and discovering gratitude. It is also about her relationship with Rich, a man who lived in the eternal present, and the eerie poetry of his often uncanny perceptions. This wise, plainspoken, beautiful book enacts the truth Abigail has discovered in the years since the accident. You might not find meaning in disaster, but you might, with effort, make something useful of it.

Arrived today. I totally forgot about this book so it was a pleasant surprise. I think this will be going to the top of my TBR mountain. Thanks Elsi.

5 out of 10

This was an ok read. I couldn't get into the author's writing style. It seemed to me she was all over the place in time with the past and present. Felt rather disorganized. Also given the title of the book I expected a bit more about the dogs.
