A Happy Marriage by Rafael Yglesias

Although this is fiction, it seems that the author's bio reads very much like the book. Maybe that is why it seemed so real and believable. Enrique and Margaret have been married 30 years and now Margaret is facing death after a long battle against cancer. The book goes back and forth between their first meeting and subsequent courtship and the last weeks of Margaret's life. It is certainly not a happy book - I would suggest kleenex be close at hand. It was well-written and I think the ending was very believable - thus the Kleenex! I found Margaret's decisions to be very thought-provoking. - thus the Kleenex.
