This novella takes place over the last week of an old man's life and we follow the events through they eyes of his daughter as she is forced in to an intimate relationship with death and an examination of her own reactions and responses to the situation. Although brief, the story encourages both thinking and conversation on this often ignored subject. Facing up to mortality can be beneficial in helping us to live life to the full and really value the little things in everyday life that we can easily take for granted.
