X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>From #1 bestselling author Sophie Kinsella
 \, an unforgettable story&mdash\;by turns heartbreaking and life-affirming
 &mdash\;of a renowned novelist facing a devastating diagnosis and learning
  to live and love anew.&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;<br />&ldquo\;<em>What Does It 
 Feel Like?</em> is fiction\, but it is my most autobiographical work to da
 te. Eve&rsquo\;s story is my story.&rdquo\;&mdash\;Sophie Kinsella&nbsp\;<
 br />&nbsp\;<br />Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a h
 ospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband\, never far f
 rom her side\, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large\
 , malignant tumor growing in her brain.&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;<br />As Eve le
 arns to walk\, talk\, and write again&mdash\;and as she wrestles with her 
 diagnosis\, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children&mdash\;
 she begins to recall what&rsquo\;s most important to her: long walks with 
 her husband&rsquo\;s hand clasped firmly around her own\, family game nigh
 ts\, and always buying that dress when she sees it.&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;<br
  />Recounted in brief anecdotes\, each one is an attempt to answer the typ
 e of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth 
 of grief. This short\, extraordinary novel is a celebration of life\, shot
  through with warmth and humor&mdash\;it will both break your heart and pu
 t it back together again.&nbsp\;<br />&nbsp\;<br />&ldquo\;Why did I write
  such a personal book? I have always processed my life through writing. Hi
 ding behind my fictional characters\, I have always turned my own life int
 o a narrative. It is my version of therapy\, maybe. Writing is my happy pl
 ace\, and writing this book\, although tough going at times\, was immensel
 y satisfying and therapeutic for me.&rdquo\;&mdash\;Sophie Kinsella&nbsp\;
