extraordinary
Over the course of one Saturday night, a brother and sister meet at her request to spend the evening preparing for her assisted death. They drink and reminisce fondly, sadly, amusingly about their past and especially about her children, both of whom led dramatic but profoundly different lives. A gentle consideration of assisted suicide, EXTRAORDINARY is also a story about siblings--about how brothers and sisters turn out so differently; about how little, in fact, turns out the way we expect. In the end, this is a novel about the extraordinary business of being alive, and it may well be David Gilmore's very best work of fiction to date.
