Final Negotiations: A Story of Love, and Chronic Illness by Carolyn Ellis
5.0
"Sometimes I stare at Gene, wondering how we got to this point" - Ellis, p. 257.
Looking back over this book I find myself wondering how a book made me feel so many different emotions. The start of the book took me by surprise. I am a PhD student and therefore experience the backstage of the academy and my University. And boy were the 70s a different time in academia.
I also found myself in deep sadness, awe, confusion, and frustration along with Ellis during this story. I read this book for academic purposes but ended somewhere else by the end of it. I have a feeling that this book will stay with me for a long time to come.
