And Finally, Matters of Life and Death by Henry Marsh |
Facing his own mortality after a diagnosis of prostate cancer, symptoms long denied, Marsh, a retired neurosurgeon, gifts us his discursive book on becoming a patient, his continued joy in building things, his love for his grandchildren and much more. He is candid in his thoughts about his work, life and dying but this is not a bleak book without any humour. He is an optimist who believes in the power of hope, no matter how small.
