Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. One minute my wife was there. In a flash she was gone. In the ten months of Kerryns dying, I prepared myself for everything except for her death. Now that she is gone, I am desperate to know her as I never knew her. Thirty Days is a portrait of grief, of a marriage and of a family. It is the moving memoir of Marks wife of 33 years, Kerryn Baker, who died ten months after her diagnosis, aged 55, from stomach cancer.It is also a study in how we construct our own version of the past, after Mark discovers a cache of Kerryns letters in the laundry cupboard and has to rethink their relationship. It is a book about memory and its uncertainties, as Mark sifts through photos and home movies, as his wife gets sicker, and his search for clues about their relationship grows more desperate. In her last days, Kerryn reveals her traumatic childhood to Mark for the first time. She emerges as the rock of the family, a brave and wise woman, clear-eyed about her treatment, focused on finding the path to a peaceful death. Paradoxically, her dying brings the couple back to the intensity of their first love. In the tradition of Paul Kalanithis When Breath Becomes Air and Cory Taylors remarkable memoir, Dying, Mark Bakers Thirty Days is an inspirational book about death and dying.
