We need to update our wills. I need to give G my passwords and he needs to show me where our financial records are kept.
Memorial Days is a memoir by Geraldine Brooks, a wonderful Pulitzer Prize winning author, as she grieves the sudden death of her husband. Like her, he was an award winning journalist who packed a lot into his 60 years of life. The book shifts between the days immediately following his death and a time three years later when she goes to a remote island in Tanzania to officially mourn his death. It is a beautifully written memoir and a lovely tribute to her husband, Tony Horowitz, and their marriage.
Definitely recommend it.
Only one little tiny thing nags at me.... she wrote extensively about her solitary life on the remote island and how it helped her heal to be alone with her thoughts. However, in looking up information about the two of them online, I saw a documentary of her trip to the island. So technically she was not alone. There was a film crew with her?? I tell myself that maybe they were just there for a few hours to capture some footage before bolting away to leave her in peace. I'll stick with that. - June
