Leslie Brody at the East Hampton Library
01:00 pm - 02:30 pm
EH Library, East Hampton,
Leslie Brody will be at the East Hampton Library discussing her book
“The Last Kiss,” Saturday May 11th from 1-2:30 PM, book signing to
follow. This is a free event. Below are some reviews
Leslie Brody, a journalist and mother of two, thought her life was
finally heading in the right direction when she married Elliot, a
romantic, funny and brilliant editor. But six years after their
wedding, they learned that Elliot had pancreatic cancer – and would be
lucky to live for a year or two.
The Last Kiss is an intimate memoir about the life-affirming power of
a passionate marriage and the resilience of children growing up
through one of life’s harshest trials.
“I love this book because it is so honest. Leslie Brody writes openly
about what it is like to watch her husband slip away. Some of her
stories will break your heart, others bring a smile to your face. Yes,
The Last Kiss is a portrait of loss…but also, and more importantly,
of a life lived fully.”
- Meredith Vieira
“This is a beautiful, heartbreaking memoir of love and loss…The
abiding faith in family, in humor, in grief, in love that abounds on
these pages triumphs – and insures the immortality of all involved.”
- Ken Burns, filmmaker
“Terrific! This is a beautiful book and a brave book.”
- Kevin Baker, author of New York Times bestseller Paradise Alley and
Strivers Row
