ākharīn bāshgāh-i kitābkhvānī: Persian 1400

Mary Ann Schwalbe was a famous teacher who during her lifetime held valuable positions such as director of admissions at Harvard and director of educational counseling at the prestigious Dalton College in New York. He considered it his duty to transfer knowledge to others and spent the last ten years of his life building a library in Afghanistan. The story of this book begins with a cup of coffee taken from a machine in the waiting room of Alvan Kettering Memorial Cancer Center, and while drinking it, Will accidentally asks his mother what book she is reading. The discussion between mother and son blossoms with this question and after some time it turns into a ritual rummy. They agree that once in a while one of them will pick a book and they will both read it and sit and talk about it while Marianne is waiting for her chemotherapy session. The books they read are one of their choices each time and have a wide range. From the classics to the popular, from the colored mask to the girl with the dragon tattoo, from my father's tears to a Christian prayer book called Daily Strength, during these discussions, the books find a place in the heart of the relationship between these two characters, the outstanding woman. The one whose life is coming to an end and the young man who feels closer to his mother than ever before.
