Like Tuesdays with Morrie, Twelve Thousand Days focuses on one pinnacle event in the writer’s life, and yet tells their entire story around it – both books are written eloquently and with a clear description of how grief takes hold of one’s self.

Though Ní Dhuibhne and her husband had a significant age gap, this becomes one of the least interesting parts of their relationship – they jump through a series of obstacles and difficulties, their goal on being together never wavering, which only makes the memoir more heart-breaking, as it is clear that Bo is no longer around.

In this memoir, Professor Ní Dhuibhne tells her story from the moment she met her husband Bo, and the life they went on to lead together. Twelve Thousand Days: A Memoir of Loss and Love, by Éilís Ní Dhuibhne Like Tuesdays with Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven evokes a series of rattling emotions and though it is often devastating, the overall tone of the novel is uplifting, as Eddie learns who really mattered to him, and who he really mattered to.
