This is one of my favorite books! I am generally quite discerning about humor, averse to schmaltz, but I find this book a delight. Equally important, the relatives to whom I have given this when they are going through difficult times have enjoyed and appreciated it. It strikes just the right balance between philosophy and humor (and irony, perhaps the perfect marriage of both),which seems to tone down the funniness, while still amusing and providing levity, often a very important respite from sadness or worry. It is also a completely painless way to learn Yiddishkeit for this culturally deprived Boomer!

I loved it! Glass's writing keeps me up much too late, some of the time laughing out loud.

The Farewell Chronicles is one of the finest books I have read. The author establishes a rapport with the reader in the blink of an eye, and from that point on, Ms. Rufus allows the reader to feel that she is speaking personally and directly to her or him.If this is the only book you read about death, you could not be better served. What a beautiful, special book.

I read most of the 35 reviews available, and I changed my mind about reading it! It sounds like a thriller that's just a little too real for me to read before sleep- which is when I read for entertainment.

Plenty of material for would-be stand-up comics, but use with discretion if you seek success!

Very intricate plot- not for bedtime readers!

Most of us can find ourselves in at least a few pages of this daily meditation book (subtitled: Meditations for Indispensable Women). It's one of the better books I've seen in this genre.
