What is a good death? How would you choose to live your last few months? How do we best care for the rising tide of very elderly?

This unusual and important audiobook is a series of reflections on death in all its forms: the science of it, the medicine, the tragedy and the comedy. Dr David Jarrett draws on family stories and case histories from his 30 years of treating the old, demented and frail to try to find his own understanding of the end. And he writes about all the conversations that we, our parents, our children, the medical community, our government and society as a whole should be having.

Profound, provocative, strangely funny and astonishingly compelling, it is an impassioned plea that we start talking frankly and openly about death. And it is a call to arms for us to make radical changes to our perspective on ‘the seventh age of man’.

this is a hugely important book that brings home the fact that death is a vital part of the process of life, much hidden in our culture and society. The author doesn't hide the grim reality of the process of dying but does this in an often witty and always matter of fact way. I loved it and will be making plans immediately to spare my loved ones and me as much stress and distress as possible when my time comes. I agree with the previous reviewer about the description of his overseas work and that (essential and necessary) abortion... the description was a little gratituitous, I thought, and a warning would have been great. Well worth a read.

Insightful, helpful & occasionally grim.

Wow! Thought provoking, insightful and witty, with a good dash of humour to aid the delivery of what is, essentially, a difficult topic for many of us to delve in to.
David Jarrett writes beautifully and Simon Bubb is the perfect narrator. A*

An indispensable read !

Tricky subject, death. The approach was robust but not brutal. Really helped me think about death without being fearful of the inevitable. When my time comes I will be prepared!

Thought provoking
