Reseña del libro "How Midsummer Night: A Memoir of Friendship and Loss (en Inglés)"

The author chronicles the final months of the life of her close friend and fellow teacher, in this unique and unforgettable memoir. When fifty-six-year-old Richard is diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and inoperable brain cancer, his colleague and friend Janet Somerville begins to document his life in a personal, months-long letter to him, to one day share with his wife and daughters. Teaching together at a Toronto boys' school, Janet and Richard bonded over their love of musical theater and literature. And now that Richard is nearing his end, it is these memories that comfort both of them through the good days and the bad. Peppered with theatrical references and inside jokes--from Shakespeare to Rodgers and Hammerstein, Monty Python to Avenue Q--the letter offers a touching glimpse into Richard's life. During his treatment, Janet shares with him the day-to-day activities of the school, including the unfiltered witticisms that fall from the mouths of teenage boys. Together they recollect stories of school choir trips, plays directed, and books read. Richard's positive attitude--his playfulness and graciousness--shines through the pages. How Midsummer Night is a beautiful tribute to a man who made his mark on his family and the community around him--a man who was so much more than just another teacher, so much more than just another friend.
