Dear Life: A Doctor's Story of Love, Loss and Consolation |
This is quite simply a life enhancing wonderful book. The fact that it concerns the end of life is irrelevant. Rachel Clarke works in palliative care and she brings to the front line of death a vibrant moving and loving feeling. I could hardly believe that her workplace could be so heartwarming. I shall treasure this book as long as I myself draw breath.

The Story of a Heart |
A palliative care doctor, the author writes with great compassion and understanding about how the tragic loss of one child gives life to another through the gift of her heart. We learn so much about the history behind such operations and the teams supporting them today. Above all it is about the two families involved, their traumas, generosity and love. A truly moving and uplifting piece of writing, notwithstanding the tears of this reader.
