Douglas Kennedy is as gifted a writer as they come. Not only does he comprehend the rawness of human nature, but he can translate it into the pages of a book and fabricate a tale of titanic emotion. I must recommend ''Leaving The World'' to you with all my heart. I adored it; it is one of the best books I have ever read and will sit, forever etched on my mental bookshelf.
The subject matter of this book will cleave your heart and in the same mood, I must recommend Debra Adelaide's [[The Household Guide to Dying by Debra Adelaide|The Household Guide to Dying]], a beautiful, moving and highly emotive story about the untimeliness of death. You might also like to read [[The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards|The Memory Keeper's Daughter]], a complex tale of the kind of terrible decisions that should never have to be made. Lastly, perhaps you should take a peek at [[The Life You Longed For by Maribeth Fischer]] though you should be warned that all three ought to carry a 'Kleenex' warning. You might also appreciate [[Penelope by Rebecca Harrington]].
Lastly, our thanks go to the ladies and gentlemen at Hutchinson for sending this copy to Bookbag for review. We also have a review of Kennedy's [[The Great Wide Open by Douglas Kennedy|The Great Wide Open]].
