A beautifully well-written and remarkable book about a 73 year old retired surgeon who finds out that he has terminal colon cancer. His wife died nineteen months ago and he doesn't want to burden his daughter with his illness so he plans on killing himself. Days don't go as planned and he ends up on a journey of a lifetime. I am so impressed with this author.
