Amazon.com description: Product Description:
A husbandâs unflinching account of his wifeâs unravelling. How Linda Died is Frank Daveyâs powerful and painfully precise account of his wifeâs fight against an inoperable brain tumor. Lindaâs proud refusal to tell anyone about her deteriorating condition left Frank with few people to confide in. As Lindaâs mind fell victim to cancer, Frank took to recording his memories with increasingly compulsive and private intensity. He found himself reckoning with the demons of a past that Linda could no longer share and mourning the loss of a present she could no longer enjoy. At the same time, he found himself reflecting on the habits, rituals, and diversions that punctuated his life. How could he reconcile his passion for showing prize-winning Great Danes with Lindaâs debilitating illness? How could he talk about the great wines he loved or the fabulous coq au vin they had shared right after he talked about the clinical details of her approaching death or her bizarre behaviour? What makes this book so special  and in many ways so brilliantly odd  is the life-defining contrasts it records, often in a single breath. At once a shattering portrayal of a devastating disease and an obsessive record of one manâs selfinterrogation amidst a welter of conflicting emotions, How Linda Died is a gripping memoir, beautiful in its morbidity and searing in its relentless refusal to sidestep the truth.
