Extraordinary / David Gilmour.

Summary:

"A heart-rending novel about end-of-life, family and children. EXTRAORDINARY is a gentle consideration of assisted suicide, but it is also a story about siblings - about how brothers and sisters turn out so differently; about how little, in fact, turns out the way we expect. In the end, this is a novel about the extraordinary business of being alive, and it may well be David Gilmour's very best work of fiction to date."--Publisher.
Over the course of one Saturday night, a brother and sister meet at her request to spend the evening preparing for her assisted death. They drink and reminisce fondly, sadly, amusingly, about their past and especially about her childre, both of whom have led dramatic but profoundly different lives. A gentle consideration of assited suicide, 'Extraordinary' is a tory about siblings-about how brothers and sisters turn out so differently; about how little, in fact, turns out the way we expect.
