The Collected Regrets of Clover: A Novel

From the day she watched her kindergarten teacher drop dead during a dramatic telling of Peter Rabbit, Clover Brooks has felt a stronger connection with the dying than she has with the living. After the beloved grandfather who raised her dies alone while she is traveling, Clover becomes a death doula in New York City, dedicating her life to ushering people peacefully through their end-of-life process.

Mikki Brammer's The Collected Regrets of Clover is a big-hearted and life-affirming debut about a death doula who, in caring for others at the end of their life, has forgotten how to live her own, for readers of The Midnight Library.

I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of this book. As a pastor’s wife who has spent more time with the sick and dying than most, I found Clover’s interactions and observations accurate. I found the romance gave the book balance, between parts that were heavy and parts that were light and made me smile. I enjoyed seeing the growth in Clover, especially as it pertained to taking risks with relationships.
