This is such a beautifully written book about losing your parents. I was never a fan of William F. Buckley's politics, but you have to admire his writing ability and his son Christopher does a wonderful job in eulogizing both his parents in this easy to read book. Christopher Buckley is one writer I enjoy immensely and I try to read everything he publishes, so this was a must read for me. I did have to look up several words in this one, so it was educational as well.
