Evan Brooke: Madeline McKnight Signs Off, Gebunden

Klappentext

"An extraordinary exploration of friendship that spans the broadest universal themes of love and loyalty to the most intricate, intimate and memorable details of a human life." ---Jill McCorkle

An unconventional relationship between women of two different generations becomes something transcendent in this vulnerable, heartbreaking, and life-affirming debut novel that proves it's never too late to make amends .

Madeline McKnight is writing her final annual report. A former Wall Street power player, she uses a pie chart to rank her most hated rivals, a line graph to follow the trajectory of her net worth and reputation, and even a formula to predict when the metastasized cancer will kill her. But there's no equation to solve for whether Bri Davis, Madeline's ex-best friend's daughter, will agree to take care of her at the end of her life.

Bri is a nursing student fresh off a breakup, ambivalent about her future, and drowning in debt. She accepts Madeline's strange proposal, mostly for the obscene payday, only to find herself face-to-face with a force of nature rather than an ailing patient. Madeline McKnight has never gone away quietly, and soon she ropes Bri into teaming up with her to handle her unusual bucket list.
