This book is best read at one sitting; fortunately, it's short enough for that. It's essentially a single conversation, taking place at a critical moment in the lives of a brother and sister. It's a celebration of life at the moment of leaving it, an ode to love, forgiveness, regrets, understanding, acceptance. Comparisons with Mitch Albom immediately come to mind, along with echoes of Alice Munroe at her best. Given the subject matter, perhaps the highest praise I can bestow is that, to my surprise, Gilmour succeeds in making me envy Sally just a little bit for the richness of her life and the serenity she has achieved.
