Nominee, Governor General's Literary Award for Non-Fiction The story of a daughter's vigil over her father's death and her journey through grief in the aftermath of his decision to die with dignity. An unforgettable book, a poetically charged memoir of the author's passage through grief.
This is a wonderful little book. It is a reflection on loss and the choices one makes dealing with loss. Very well written and evocative. I found this book really resonated with me, and I marked many pages that had passages I want to return to. A wonderful celebration of the life of her father, and a work that brings the memory of his spirit to others.
A very well written and deeply though provoking story of a daughter confronting the loss of her father. I only wish I could have learned a little bit more about the narrator outside of this loss.
