Description
In Her Frank And Startlingly Intimate First Work Of Non-fiction, Truth & Beauty, Ann Patchett Shines Light On The Little-explored World Of Women's Friendships And Shows Us What It Means To Stand Together. Ann Patchett And Lucy Grealy Met In College In 1981 And Began A Friendship That Would Be As Defining To Both Of Their Lives As Their Work. In Her Critically Acclaimed And Hugely Successful Memoir, Autobiography Of A Face, Lucy Grealy Wrote About The First Half Of Her Life: Losing Part Of Her Jaw To Childhood Cancer, The Years Of Chemotherapy And Radiation, And Then The Endless Reconstructive Surgeries. In Truth & Beauty, The Story Isn't Lucy's Life Or Ann's Life, But The Parts Of Their Lives They Shared Together. This Is A Tender, Yet Sometimes Brutal Book About Loving The Person We Cannot Save. It Is About Loyalty, And About Being Lifted Up By The Sheer Effervescence Of Someone Who Knew How To Live Life To The Fullest.--publisher Description. Ann Patchett. Originally Published: London: Fourth Estate, 2004.
