“Our conversations are silly...But they are comforting to both of us, I know. They remind me of what we talk about before we go to sleep...”

3.5 stars. This is the second book by Berg that I have read in the last month. An author that I am now on the hunt for more of her books. This was one of her earlier works. Talk Before Sleep brings us the friendship between Ruth and Ann. Told from the perspective of Ann, she reflects on how she met Ruth, and the friendship that developed over the years. It is also an exploration of Ruth’s battle with terminal breast cancer. Ann, along with Sarah, Helen, and L.D. are Ruth’s closest group of friends. They support her, look after her, making sure that the strong friendship they hold does not waver. Despite setbacks, hurdles, and complications these women do not leave Ruth’s side. This is not a happy tale, but a reflection on a deep and loving friendship.
Grab a tissue for this worthwhile read.
