4.9/5 (14359 ratings)

Description:While a student at Dalhousie University, Anna Pottier attended a poetry reading featuring Irving Layton. Walking out of the auditorium that night, she knew two things: she wanted more than ever to be a writer, and she wanted to be with Layton.At the age of 23 she became Layton's fifth and final wife; she was 48 years his junior. She shared the entirety of his world and was intimately involved in the writing and publication of such books as The Gucci Bag, Fortunate Exile, and Waiting For the Messiah. She accompanied Layton on his last major overseas reading tour, broke bread with Pierre Trudeau and Leonard Cohen, met other luminaries, and watched Layton write his very last poem.But slowly, Layton was changing. In 1992, a doctor put names to these changes: Parkinson's disease and early-stage Alzheimer's. Life carried on, but once-easy things grew harder and harder, and then the day came in 1995, after nearly 14 years, when Pottier had nothing left to give.Good as Gone is a startling, at times searing, account of one of the most unusual love stories of the 20th century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
