Ann Patchett (Bel Canto) and Lucy Grealy (Autobiography of a Face) met at the Iowa Writers' Workshop. They became devoted friends, were frequently roommates, and their lives were forever after intertwined, for better and for worse, until Lucy Grealy's untimely death. I found this one of the saddest books I have ever read; Ann Patchett's steadfast devotion through her friend's encounters with the darkest moments imaginable and Lucy Grealy's feeling of aloneness through operation after operation.
