Lets take the long way home by Gail Caldwell

Gail Caldwell's tender account of loving and losing her best friend and fellow writer, recluse, recovering alcoholic and dog lover, Caroline Knapp, is a near perfect memoir: beautiful, humble, intimate and filled with piercing insights. Meant to be savored and shared.
