LOVE OF MY LIFE – a film by Joan Carr-Wiggin – (limited spoilers)
Grace (Anna Chancellor) has a brain tumor and has been told she might die during the operation to remove it — an operation scheduled for four days hence. She makes the mistake of telling her husband Tom (James Fleet) about it, setting in motion a series of events that will drastically alter the lives of everyone around her, and prevent her from finishing George Eliot’s Middlemarch before entering hospital. (This post’s title is a quote from that book.) Grace asks Tom not to tell anyone else about her condition but before she can stop him, he phones their daughter Kaitlyn (Hannah Emily Anderson) and that opens the floodgates.
