_NEW YORK TIMES_ BESTSELLER
They met over their dogs. Gail Caldwell and Caroline Knapp (author of
_Drinking: A Love Story_ ) __ became best friends, talking about everything
from their love of books and their shared history of a struggle with alcohol
to their relationships with men. Walking the woods of New England and rowing
on the Charles River, these two private, self-reliant women created an
attachment more profound than either of them could ever have foreseen. Then,
several years into this remarkable connection, Knapp was diagnosed with
cancer. With her signature exquisite prose, Caldwell mines the deepest levels
of devotion, and courage in this gorgeous memoir about treasuring a best
friend, and coming of age in midlife. _Let’s Take the Long Way Home_ is a
celebration of the profound transformations that come from intimate
connection—and it affirms, once again, why Gail Caldwell is recognized as one
of our bravest and most honest literary voices.
