In 2020 I try to stay away from tragic stories as much as I can. Yet, this one does sounds interesting. I always applaud authors too when they can convey stories in a simple and relatable way. Good job with the review.

An interesting tragi-comic memoir "Last Dance" by Stephen Manning, which follows the lives of Steve Manning and Mary Ann Lesin. The memoir portrays how they were able to build a life together despite having a mix of good and bad times together. The book appears appealing.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

It seems like a very moving story. I'm glad the author included a few humorous moments, though, because sometimes it can be too much.
Thank you for your compelling review!

This sounds like such a sweet tribute to a wonderful woman. She was obviously loved and deserved it. The book seems well-written and descriptive.

A memoir that tells mainly about the author and his wife. It highlights the importance of the family, the difficulties, and how they overcame them. I like these bibliographic stories, they are moving and often they leave you life lessons.

Whilst this book indeed sounds heart-wrenching and heartwarming, and it seems to be well-executed, I just don’t feel like it has a pull on me. Maybe I’m just not in the place where I am ready to face such strong emotions of another person.

Thank you for such a thorough and inspired review!

Wow. It sounds like a book that can take you on a real emotional journey. I like the fact that the author included some tension-releasing jokes, as the content itself might be a bit too saddening. Beautiful review!

This sounds like a fascinating account of the battles, experiences, and adventures that a couple shared together; I may give this one a look. Thanks for the review, Sam. :techie-studyingbrown:

This sounds like an emotional story of a woman's determination and power of sacrifice for her beloved son. I'd like to read something more light-hearted right now, though. Thanks for your review!
