The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer
4.0
This was pure joy.
I’d never heard of a death doula before, so the description of the novel feels a little grim at the start.
But the author brings us on a lovely journey of Clover, who is still grieving herself. Clover comes across as a loner, but not lonely, and we are brought through teenage emotions of making friends, having her first kiss etc as a 35 year old.
The ending is lovely, not quite textbook and I love that Brammer did this.
