Items related to Rowing Without Oars
Until 2003, Ulla-Carin Lindquist had balanced a high-flying media career with the demands of her four children. Then suddenly she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. In the last year of her life she wrote this heartbreaking memoir. Powerfully moving, yet also uplifting, it is an unforgettable story about the indomitable power of language and love, about motherhood and about finally letting go.

Review:
'If you take this book to heart, it could and should change the way you live' (Sunday Telegraph)
Astonishing ... life-affirming (Daily Mail)
Extraordinary ... beautifully written (Scotland on Sunday)
I have never read anything like it - its quietness, its courage, its lucidity; I found it searing, beautiful, terrifying, and, at the same time, affirming - and reassuring (Oliver Sacks)
The astonishing triumph of her book is that its lasting impression is not one of hospitals and the endless prodding and probing that accompanies serious illness, but of sunlight on water, children's laughter, winter flowers. (Daily Mail)
Remarkable ... a quietly moving and direct account not just of her sadness at knowing she would leave her family, but of the joy she was able to feel when she relaxed enough to live in the moment (The Times)
A remarkable account of one woman's courage when confronted with her own terminal illness (Belfast Telegraph)
'The smartness and extreme bravery of Lindquist's narrative ... intelligent ... elegant' (Financial Times)
'An extraordinary book' (Bookseller)
'I would recommend this book to everyone and I am sure that reading groups would find a great many of issues to discuss - in fact, I have started to read it again' (New Books)
