This was an enjoyable and insightful read. I found it a little slow to get going, but I couldn't help but feel for Clover, whose own losses had caused her to cut herself off and live vicariously through her work as a death doula. Once that work led to real lasting relationships and a new neighbour became her friend, her carefully constructed isolation began to fall apart.
Watching Clover's development throughout the book was very satisfying. A great read for anyone who values real emotions and believable endings.
