About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Put your heart out there.
Let it get broken.
Take chances.
Make mistakes . . .
Let yourself live.

Clover Brooks has always felt a stronger connection with those at the end of their life than in the middle of it. She dedicates herself to ushering people peacefully though their final days, working as a death doula in New York City. Her client's last words are collected in three treasured notebooks, neatly labelled: ADVICE, CONFESSIONS and REGRETS.

Then she meets Claudia: a woman who has had the kind of life that Clover hasn't dared imagine for herself. But even Claudia has one regret. Now, with only an old love letter, a road map and a leap of faith, Clover begins her first adventure...

A big-hearted story about figuring out what we really want from life - and finding the courage to go after it.

Critic reviews

A beautiful, uplifting novel about unexpected friendship, a decades-old love story, and finding the courage to live your best life (Lucy Diamond, author of The Beach Cafe)
I fell in love with Clover and cheered when she finally realised that comfort zones are designed to be stepped out of (Jill Mansell, author of Should I Tell You)
It made me want to pack up my things and move somewhere abroad . . . Beautiful, poignant and the literary antidote to when life feels a little stationary (Jessica George)
Charming, delightful and quietly powerful . . . this will warm your heart and change your life (Veronica Henry, author of Thirty Days in Paris)
This book will be one that I remember for a long time, and it's a story that we can all learn something from (Ruth Hogan, author of The Keeper of Lost Things)
This lovely and sweetly satisfying novel [is] engaging and accessible...Brammer's take on death and grieving is profound enough to feel genuinely instructional

What a fabulous story, clover had me hooked from the start, her sadness hit me hard and then her lessons turned her world around.
I really hope we get a second book “the collected adventures of clover “ 😉

Loved the book but found I had to listen to
It at a faster speed. What I hadn’t expected was how for example I decided to slow down the last 10 minutes and it impacted how the characters were portrayed. Sylvia? Who sounded upbeat and fun at 1.5 speed suddenly sounded a bit more flirty? (can’t quite find the right word).
Overall an interesting subject matter and lovely flowing story.

How the speed of speech can affect how a character is portrayed.
