About this listen

‘An exquisitely poignant tale of life, friendship and facing death… Everyone should read this book’ Ruth Hogan, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Keeper of Lost Things

Eudora Honeysett is done – with all of it. Having seen first-hand what a prolonged illness can create, the eighty-five-year-old has no intention of leaving things to chance. With one call to a clinic in Switzerland she takes her life into her own hands.

But then ten-year-old Rose arrives in a riot of colour on her doorstep. Now, as precocious Rose takes Eudora on adventures she’d never imagined she reflects on the trying times of her past and soon finds herself wondering – is she ready for death when she’s only just experienced what it’s like to truly live?

A heartfelt story of life, death, friendship and family perfect for fans of Gail Honeyman. *Shortlisted for the RNA Contemporary Romantic Novel of the Year Award*

‘One heroine I will never forget…We all need friends like Eudora, Stanley and Rose in our lives. Their kindness is a shining light in these stormy times’ Celia Anderson, bestselling author of 59 Memory Lane

‘Strikes a winning balance, reaching deep feelings while avoiding the traps of sentimentality’ Publishers Weekly

Critic reviews

"An exquisitely poignant tale of life, friendship and facing death. In the latter, the author dares to explore a subject that many shy away from, but she does so with touching sensitivity, gentle humour and absolute honesty. Eudora’s courage, dignity and wry sense of fun are beautifully drawn as she takes the reader on the heart-breaking yet ultimately uplifting journey of her life and death. Everyone should read this book." (Ruth Hogan, Sunday Times best-selling author of The Keeper of Lost Things)

A beautiful story of life, family, friendship & love... where age is no boundary to friendship & all that matters is those we love & who love us. I laughed & cried, sad when the story came to an end. If you're as sentimental as I, you enjoy every chapter.

I absolutely loved this story...

This was a heartfelt tale of an old lady who has chosen to end her life in a Swiss clinic. She sees no need for people and despises those who choose to tell everyone their business. Her life is about to change when she has new neighbours and the little girl shows her exactly how life should be lived. I loved it from start to finish.
