Reseña del libro "Memories of Max: A Father's Story (en Inglés)"
This is a personal account of a father's struggle to try and save his son, Max, who suffered from two cancers. The author expresses his hopes, fears, and emotions during the illness, and the growing love that developed between them. He describes how it feels to be a parent of a cancer-stricken child and demonstrates the amazing endurance and courage of children undergoing cancer treatment. 'As a parent of two children who had cancer, I found this unsentimental, honest, and touching memoir almost unbelievably painful and yet at the same time compelling. By the end I felt I knew Max and his father and had shared the journey with them. I salute two very special and courageous people.' - Diane Yeo, former chief executive for Sargent Cancer Care for Children. 'This book is unique. Others have written of personal tragedy and trauma but none with the same degree of scrupulous accuracy. There is nothing saccharine here, and it is an astonishing account of endurance and love - a story of two remarkable people, a father and son.' - Alice Thomas Ellis, author, editor, and Booker Prize 1982 nominee. 'Thank you for this painfully real, compassionate, and utterly precious book.' - Julie Walters, actress and mother of Maisie, who survived childhood leukaemia.
