In Scotland, in the not too distant future, Elaine, a partially sighted woman in her 60s, enters an exit facility. Down on her uppers, she is in search of a swift, free, and dignified death so that she can preserve her last remaining asset–a small flat–for her daughter to inherit. But once Elaine has checked in and finds her “Exit” delayed, the enforced wait leads her to question her choice and, more importantly, the state’s motives….

“We have different categories of client here. The first are the Facility’s original category, terminally-ill clients who are in urgent need of Compassionate Closure. Then we have the voluntary clients–people such as yourself who have chosen Closure for their own personal reasons,” the Administrator said.

“What about the third category?” Elaine asked.

“There is no third category.”

This was a very enjoyable book albeit having a slightly unnerving and dystopian take on the direction modern society might be taking us. I was left thinking about a lot of different issues, assisted dying, but much more as well. Although the book's subject was dark there was a lot of humour and depiction of warm relationships building in this strange no man's land between death and life that the author depicts. It was also great to be reminded of older people still being allowed to enjoy sex and have strong opinions of the opposite sex. I listened to it a lot over a few days to find out what happened next and turn the audible page.

The narration of this superb story on Audible is perfect. Konstantina's voice fits all the characters and sweeps us away into a world of excitement, involvement and intrigue. It brings the text to life in a flowing and brilliantly paced storytelling. The narrator and author work together to create a magical listening experience.
The story is fascinating as Fiona creates a perfectly realistic dystopian future with perfectly feasible scenarios interwoven with horrifying nightmare pictures of how society could easily go. Romance, intrigue and adventure are cunningly developed to enfold us in this controversial subject of the right to die and assisted death.
This book is just as impactful as an audiobook and will intrigue and fascinate the listener – perhaps even more than reading the book!

A flowing and well-paced intriguing story!
