Let's Take the Long Way Home

A Memoir of Friendship...by Gail Caldwell.  I loved the idea of this book...talking about a friendship.  For women friendship is a mixed bag...we are fortunate if we can sustain a friendship because so many other things take up our time and energy.  Apparently author Gail found a friend in Caroline.  I don't think this will spoil the review...as this is what is said in the cover...but Caroline dies of cancer....Gail is left to pick up the pieces and mourn the loss of a friend.  She does this by recapping how they met, what they did together and how it all ends.  You almost feel like you are intruding into their relationship.  I wasn't especially sucked into the story or the content...but what I did take away from it was how precious friendship is and can be.  It made me think of my friendships both current and past...and for that I enjoyed the book.
