I adored this story. Clover is a death doula. I had never heard of a death doula, but it completely makes sense. There are many people who don't have anyone to be near them as they die, and some who do have family nearby don't get the peace they need by having them around. I would think the person at the end of their journey would think it's nice to talk to an outsider, or even have the outsider talk to them.
Clover hears the last wishes and regrets of the persons she assists. To mentally unwind from each one, she documents their wishes & regrets. By writing these down, it gives her some peace.
Clover is a loner and realizes that she has some regrets of her own and needs to change her life so she doesn't have these regrets when she ends her own journey.
I also enjoyed the discussion between the author and the narrator at the end of the audiobook.
This book is emotional and powerful. I would recommend it to everyone I know.
