LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026 WINNER OF THE NERO BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION 2025 LONGLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2026 ‘Please read this book. It may very well change how you live’ Rachel Clarke ‘Profound…compelling…beautiful’ Nina Stibbe ‘Filled with love…I was spellbound’ Kathryn Mannix ‘Brilliant…so special’ Guardian An inspiring true story about life, love and letting go Sarah Perry’s father-in-law David died in the autumn of 2022, only nine days after a cancer diagnosis. He was in some ways a very ordinary man: he loved stamp collecting, fish and chips, comic novels and his local church. Yet as Sarah and her husband Robert nursed David through his final days, they realised how extraordinary he really was. This loving, clear-eyed and unforgettable book shows how death may be met and understood as a part of life – a universal experience that is terrible and beautiful, intimate and real, sometimes all at once. A Book of the Year for The Times, Guardian, Financial Times and Observer 'Beautiful and profound and completely gripping’ Mark Haddon 'A must-read’ The Times 'We cannot be but somewhat changed by this remarkable book’ Telegraph 'This book will be a lifeline for so many people’ Seán Hewitt 'Perry is in a league of her own’ Sara Collins
