Résumé
When Elma Gerwin found out in 2001 at the age of 61 that she had cancer, she reached out to two old friends: Arthur Motyer, novelist, teacher, and Elma's university professor forty years ago, and novelist Carol Shields, who was… facing her own battle with cancer. Years later, Arthur is the only survivor, and contemplating how Elma's and Carol's correspondence affected him, he brought the letters together and interspersed them with literary references and poetry. 2007.
