At 11pm.. I'd started to feel alittle drowsy and I'd thought Its a good sign and I should be able to sleep throughout the night. But I was so wrong.... waking up at 12am and started tossing on bed and here I am bloggin! This feeling really sucks.. especially when everyone else is snoring!!
OK.. my farmerboy is working hard but he is so far away! =(
Farmerboy knows I love reading novels, we have spoken about a novel he read written by a famous dutch novelist sometime last year when he was in sin. The book is in Dutch language, he was narrating on the story abit and I did not take much notice on content. I prefer reading them myself. So my sweetie Farmerboy got me the same book in english language from some internet webby and gave me a copy.
OK, I am just going to cut and paste the rough introduction of the story line coz I am just so lazy and farmerboy thinks I should be in bed soon. So here it goes:
A deeply moving novel in the same vein as Eric Segal's classic weepy, Love Story...Dan and Carmen are hip, healthy and wealthy. They have their own companies, plenty of money and friends and are the proud parents of one year-old Luna. They live the cool life in Amsterdam, until beautiful and optimistic Carmen is diagnosed with breast cancer. With that their world transforms into a roller-coaster ride of doctors and hospitals. As his way of coping, the hedonistic Dan faithfully accompanies Carmen to her chemo and radiotherapy treatments, but spends his nocturnal hours crazily immersed in the nightlife and women of Amsterdam and Miami.
Love Life is the account of a relationship and a terminal illness, devoid of fake sentiment and told with humour and deep humanity. And it is very much an ode to love. 'A wonderful novel about courage, helplessness and real love'
I am half way through the book but I've cried umpteen times. The simple fact of this book being a truth story just touches my heart. The ugly truth on how honest a man like Ray Kluun that has no shame but guilt when writing the truth of his infidelity throughtout his marriage with his cancered wife. Having the courage to published the book in Holland and then sold them worldwide. Reader like me; a woman, would hate him for all the dirty acts he did and his betrayal to his wife who is sadly battling cancer. Reader like Farmerboy; a man, don't agree with him but understand well why he has to do what he has to do.
This story touches my heart and will leaves a memory with me for a very long time. If anyone be interested in true love story... I would highly recommend this book!
P.S. Thanks Farmerboy for the book! xoxo
