This program features a bonus conversation between the author and narrator.

What’s the point of giving someone a beautiful death if you can’t give yourself a beautiful life?

From the day she watched her kindergarten teacher drop dead during a dramatic telling of Peter Rabbit, Clover Brooks has felt a stronger connection with the dying than she has with the living. After the beloved grandfather who raised her dies alone while she is traveling, Clover becomes a death doula in New York City, dedicating her life to ushering people peacefully through their end-of-life process.

Clover spends so much time with the dying that she has no life of her own, until the final wishes of a feisty old woman send Clover on a trip across the country to uncover a forgotten love story—and perhaps, her own happy ending. As she finds herself struggling to navigate the uncharted roads of romance and friendship, Clover is forced to examine what she really wants, and whether she’ll have the courage to go after it.

Probing, clever, and hopeful, The Collected Regrets of Clover turns the normally taboo subject of death into a reason to celebrate life.

Poignant and True

Honestly, it’s not easy reading a book about death. BUT it’s worth it! Especially a fiction book about the dignity of life and death. I’ll be thinking about Clover and her friends and clients and my friends and family, what we can say and face and what we can’t, for a long time. Narration well done!

Awesome life and love story

It was perfect. I loved the story of finding out who you are and are meant to be. The whole thing was eye opening and thought provoking.

Makes you think

Well written and performed. The book makes you pause and reflect. This is a must read

Beautiful story

What a beautiful book! My favourite this year so far. Enjoyed how simple yet compelling the story was.

Woah…

This book has become one of my top favorites of all time. Since the first few seconds of the book, I could hardily stop listening. I can’t wait to read this book for a second time. I don’t know how many times I’ve cried, laughed, and had a heart filled with overwhelming joy while reading this book. I’d recommend this book to anyone dealing with any types of troubles big or small. The author dives into family struggles, death, friendship, relationships, loneliness, self development, growth, and so much more!!! This book has lessons and wisdom that could be passed down for years and decades to come. I hope to find another book as excellent and thought provoking as this one!! BRAVO!

Lovely story about death and life

Beautifully sweet without being too predictable, this is for anyone who has grappled with loss and finding a way to move on, as I know we all have. I very much enjoyed this book.

A must read

One of the best books I’ve read. Witty, heart warming and full of emotion, the author showcased the beauty and complexity of life and death through the story of Clover, a mid-thirty year old in NY who works as a death doula.

Wonderful
