A fly-on-the-wall approach of depth and honesty, following people, of all ages, on their last journey. Bernard Cornwell and Anne Moir have been following, and been allowed remarkable intimacy by, 15 people, men and women, young and old, many for two years, who have been diagnosed as terminally ill. The purpose of the book is to look at how we make our choices - to have treatment (often painful, and only palliative) or not; to be in a hospital, hospice or home; to reach for religion or any spiritual benefit or not (and how much it helps); and wther to share the illness with family or friends or not. Why do we choose what we do? What in our past lives gives us strength to cope? And what do we think when facing the inevitable end?
