Collected Regrets of Clover, The
Brammer, Mikki
Clover Brooks has so immersed herself in her work as a death doula in New York - providing support and solace to those nearing the end of their lives - that she has forgotten how to ‘seize the day’ for herself. When her latest client discloses a lingering regret, Clover is determined to bring closure to Claudia’s decades-old love story, and in doing so, opens up her own life to the possibility of happiness and love.
With its unique perspective and empathetic characters, this is a warm and hopeful story that treats its subject matter with sensitivity and compassion.
