36 Hours

Shorlisted for the East Anglian Book Awards 2023

Less than a year after being diagnosed with inoperable cancer, Fiona's husband died at home. She was his carer. Unflinching in its detail, 36 Hours is a delicate chronicle of his last day; one that changerd her life. 36 Hours is also an invitation to find better ways to talk about death and dying.

A note from the author:

"I wrote 36 Hours because it was the book that I needed to read after my husband's death but couldn't find. I hope that by sharing my experience, patients and carers might feel less alone, and GPs, consultants and others involved in end-of-life care would gain greater insight into what patients and their loved ones are going through, making a positive difference to the way they guide people through the dying process."
