'A remarkable account of illness, loss and the power of sibling
love' The Times 'Wise's reflections on compassion fatigue are worth
the price of this book alone, but what you take away is something
splendid and unwearying: a sibling's devotion that feels remarkably
like what we mean when we talk of a stage of grace.' Telegraph
'Inspirational... profoundly uplifting' Daily Mail 'Heartbreaking
and inspiring in equal measure' Express 'This is a fantastic book
... Remarkable' Lorraine Kelly _______ A moving, thought-provoking
and surprisingly humorous book which is both a description of a
journey to death and a celebration of the act of living. Based on
Clare Wise's blog, which she started when she was first diagnosed
with cancer in 2013, Not That Kind of Love charts the highs and
lows of the last three years of Clare's life. The end result is not
a book that fills you with despair and anguish. On the contrary,
Not That Kind of Love should be read by everybody for its candour,
and for its warmth and spirit. Clare is an astonishingly dynamic,
witty and fun personality, and her positivity and energy exude from
every page. As she becomes too weak to type, her brother - the
actor Greg Wise - takes over, and the book morphs into a beautiful
meditation on life, and the necessity of talking about death. As
Greg Wise writes in the book: 'Celebrate the small things, the
small moments. If you find yourself with matching socks as you
leave the house in the morning, that is a cause for celebration. If
the rest of the day is spent finding the cure for cancer, or
brokering world peace, then that's a bonus.'
