Death of an ordinary man

Sobre el libro Death of an ordinary man de Sarah Perry publicado por Random Usa al 2025:

Now I understand there are no ordinary lives that every death is the end of a single event in times history: an event so improbable as to be miraculous, and irreplaceable in every particular.Sarah Perrys father-in-law, David, died at home nine days after a cancer diagnosis and having previously been in the good health. The speed of his illness outstripped that of the NHS and social care, so the majority of nursing fell to Sarah and her husband. They witnessed what happens to the body and spirit, hour by hour, as it approaches death.Death of an Ordinary Man is an unstinting account of death by cancer, a reportage into the daily experience of caring, an exploration of the structural conditions of dying in the UK, and most importantly a testament to Davids life, that of an ordinary man.Unflinching and profoundly moving, Sarah Perry confronts the taboo surrounding death and shows us how to confront all of the terror and beauty that comes with the end of life - and how the saddest thing she has ever seen is also the best thing shes ever done.
