À propos de cet audio

 * INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *

“Stunning…heartrending…this year’s When Breath Becomes Air.” —Nora Krug, The Washington Post

“Beautiful and haunting.” —Matt McCarthy, MD, USA TODAY

“Vivid, immediate.” —Laura Collins-Hughes, The Boston Globe

The New York Times bestseller by poet Nina Riggs, mother of two young sons and the direct descendant of Ralph Waldo Emerson, is “a stunning…heart-rending meditation on life…It is this year’s When Breath Becomes Air” (The Washington Post).

We are breathless but we love the days. They are promises. They are the only way to walk from one night to the other.

Poet and essayist Nina Riggs was just thirty-seven years old when initially diagnosed with breast cancer—one small spot. Within a year, she received the devastating news that her cancer was terminal.

How does a dying person learn to live each day “unattached to outcome”? How does one approach the moments, big and small, with both love and honesty? How does a young mother and wife prepare her two young children and adored husband for a loss that will shape the rest of their lives? How do we want to be remembered?

Exploring motherhood, marriage, friendship, and memory, Nina asks: What makes a meaningful life when one has limited time? “Profound and poignant” (Oprah Daily), The Bright Hour is about how to make the most of all the days, even the painful ones. It’s about the way literature, especially Nina’s direct ancestor, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and her other muse, Montaigne, can be a balm and a form of prayer.

Brilliantly written and exceptionally moving, it’s a “deeply affecting memoir, a simultaneously heartbreaking and funny account of living with loss and the specter of death. As Riggs lyrically, unflinchingly details her reality, she finds beauty and truth that comfort even amid the crushing sadness” (People).

Tender and heartwarming, The Bright Hour “is a gentle reminder to cherish each day” (Entertainment Weekly) and offers us this important perspective: “You can read a multitude books about how to die, but Riggs, a dying woman, will show you how to live” (The New York Times Book Review).

I just finished the book. It is crazy that a book about dying can make you appreciate your own life more. But maybe not.

Such a lovely book

This is an excellent book written by a dying woman who is determined to live life fully until the very end. I was so very moved by this memoir. It's one of the few books that I will listen to again as it has such important lessons about how to live one's life.

A powerful, heart-wrenching memoir

I really enjoyed the story. I read many cancer memoirs, and even though cancer is the unifying thread of the authors, they are all different in their lessons.
I was very disappointed in the performance though...is Cassandra Campbell a robo-dial-performer? It just feels like this was read by a robot. It took away from so much of the emotion which is inherent to the subject matter. Maybe get the print version.

Nina Riggs story was sad, and wonderful...
