Reading By Moonlight Unabridged Audio

The first time Brenda Walker packed her bag to go into hospital, she wondered which book to take with her. Her life had been built around reading and writing. Now she was being treated for breast cancer. Books had always been her solace and sustenance, and now choosing the right one was the most important thing she could do for herself. In Reading by Moonlight, Brenda describes her treatment and how different books and authors helped her through the tumultuous process of recovery. She offers wonderful introductions and insights into the work of her selected writers and shows how the very process of reading - surrendering and then regathering yourself - echoes the process of healing.
