This is a memoir that deals with the sadness and pain that the author and her family have endured since the loss of a loved one to a careless driver.
Cathy Rentzenbrink tells of the awful consequences of the “accident” that left her brother in a permanent vegetative state (PVS). Caring for a loved one in PVS is just one part of the story. Cathy fights her own demons and feelings of guilt but not in a ‘poor me’ way, but explaining the agonising decisions a family has to make.
I really enjoyed the book and the sensitive reading (if you choose it on Audible) by Jenny Funnell is perfect. The Last Act Of Love is deeply moving, but also uplifting and inspirational.
This is a romp of a novel and a masterclass in characterisation.
Imagine arriving for your first days work at a newspaper to find the publisher drunk and slumped over his desk. Meanwhile, a member of staff is threatening to jump off the roof!
Ciamh McDonnell writes beautifully and captures the personality of the seasoned old boozy editor – Vincent Banecroft perfectly. Hannah Willis (the new Tina) joins the newspaper just as a serious event shakes the already precarious newspaper office. This is a great audiobook with the narration by Brendan McDonald being amongst the best and certainly up there with Lorelei King.
