Grace | 2 comments It is about a man who finds a book of poems and begins memorizing them to tell to his wife. He begins reciting her poems each night, and she loves it so much that he keeps memorizing more until he decides to write his own. His daughter finds the book and tells the mom who ends up getting ill. On her death bed he recites a poem he created for her but she thinks it's one from the book. It ends with her dying while he holds her. Any ideas?

Grace, around what year did you read this short story?

What's the theme of the story story collection/ anthology? Written by a single or multiple authors?

I copied some book details to the topic header. Feel free to edit it.
