Ebook: Nothing Was the Same

Review "The great gift Jamison offers here, beyond her honesty and the beauty of her writing, is perspective: a cleared-eyed view of illness and death, sanity and insanity, love and grief . . . To write the truth with such passion and grace is remarkable enough. To do this in loving memory of a partner is tribute indeed." —The Washington Post "This is a finely told midlife love story, a romance as elegant as it is doomed . . . What a couple she and her husband . . . made! . . . Jamison writes simply and believably." —AARP Magazine "A unique account, filled with exquisitely wrought nuances of emotion, of her husband's death . . . In her brilliant explication distinguishing between madness and grief, her battle to remain sane is as stirring as his to beat cancer. " "Elegiac and emotionally precise." —Oprah Magazine —Booklist (starred review) "A soul-baring love letter. " —Kirkus Reviews "A superb read. " —Library Journal (starred review) *From the Hardcover edition.* Product Description Kay Redfield Jamison, award-winning professor and writer, changed the way we think about moods and madness. Now Jamison uses her characteristic honesty, wit and eloquence to look back at her relationship with her husband, Richard Wyatt, a renowned scientist who died of cancer. *Nothing was the Same* is a penetrating psychological study of grief viewed from deep inside the experience itself.
