'A big-hearted and life-affirming novel that turns the normally taboo subject of death into a reason to celebrate life!
'The Collected Regrets of Clover is the burst of hopefulness we need right now. A sparkling debut novel from Australian Mikki Brammer, which reminds us all to live our best life with fewer regrets.
'In her work as a 'death doula', Clover Brooks ushers people peacefully through their last days, collecting their final words into three notebooks- ADVICE, CONFESSIONS and REGRETS.
'But Clover spends so much time with the dying that she's forgotten how to live . . .
'Can her clients' hard-won wisdom - and the inspiring love story of a spirited old woman named Claudia - show Clover the way to a happy ending?
'After all, what's the point of giving someone a beautiful death if you can't give yourself a beautiful life?' (Publication summary)
'A debut about a death doula, who learns how to embrace the mystery of life, has unique promise, but the tropes it follows are all too familiar.'
