Jennifer is a woman who is fighting this illness - this dreadful nightmarish illness, with dignity, gusto, charm and a good dose of humour. When asked by a doctor during one of her medical check-ups - ''What day is it'' she replies crisply ''Don't insult me.'' But does she know the answer? The doctor has his/her work cut out with Jennifer, that's for sure. This is a beautifully-written book with a dark mystery at its heart ... and I wasn't expecting this particular ending either. Recommended.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Half Moon Bay by Alice LaPlante]].
If this book appeals then you might like to try [[Remember, Remember by Hazel McHaffie]].
