The Road to The Big Dipper
Magnus, Jon: Veien til Karlsvogna. En dagbok om kreft og kjærlighetFull title: The Road to The Big Dipper. A Diary of Cancer and Love
A haunting account, in the form of a diary, of enduring love and deep-felt sorrow, this is a husband's story of his marriage from the day his wife's breast cancer was diagnosed until, just over a year later, she died. It runs the gamut from despair to hope, through all the ups and downs, through summer evenings made bright by wine and sunshine, to days when all went wrong. No fewer than 43,000 copies have so far been printed, making the book one of the bestsellers of 1999. The response from the public was immensely moving and impressive, so much so that, in a new book, Etter Karlsvogna. 1000 stjernekikkere beretter, the author assembled a selection of the countless communications he received, to present a profound and unvarnished picture of the way people face up to life and death.
'"...a fanfare to the joy of living ... a captivating book admid all the horror.... One puts it down with a wondrous sense of gratitude." (VG )
