Textul de pe ultima copertă

One morning, Mel Toews put on his coat and hat, walked out of town, and took his own life. A loving husband and father, a faithful member of the Mennonite church, and an immensely popular schoolteacher, Mel was a pillar of his close-knit community. Yet after a lifetime of struggling with bipolar disorder, he could no longer face the darkness that clouded his world. In this moving meditation on illness, family, faith, and love, Mel’s daughter, critically acclaimed novelist and reporter Miriam Toews, recounts her father’s life as he would have told it, in his own voice, right up to the day of his final walk.
Swing Low is a bold, gracefully written, and compassionate recounting of one man’s heartbreaking battle with depression.

Recenzii

“…Toews offers a touching memoir.” — Publishers Weekly
“The magic of Swing Low is that Toews makes a life that looked ordinary, even grindingly so, seem exalted.” — Maria Russo, New York Times Book Review
