Synopsis

In her work as a ‘death doula’, Clover Brooks ushers people peacefully through their last days, collecting their final words into three notebooks: ADVICE, CONFESSIONS and REGRETS.

But Clover spends so much time with the dying that she’s forgotten how to live...

Can her clients’ hard-won wisdom – and the inspiring love story of a spirited old woman named Claudia – show Clover the way to a happy ending?

After all, what’s the point of giving someone a beautiful death if you can’t give yourself a beautiful life?

A big-hearted and life-affirming novel that turns the normally taboo subject of death into a reason to celebrate life!

The Collected Regrets of Clover is the burst of hopefulness we need right now. A sparkling debut novel from Australian Mikki Brammer, which reminds us all to live our best life with fewer regrets.
