ON LIVING

Please don't be put off by this audiobook's mention of hospice, which you may associate with death and sorrow. This marvelous, often funny production is a true celebration of living. Narrated clearly and with spirit by the author, a hospice chaplain, ON LIVING introduces listeners to a cornucopia of people and shares their moving, uplifting, sometimes wacky, and occasionally sad life lessons. With a light touch, Egan blends her own story into those of her clients, which makes listening all the more personal and special. You'll wish you'd read this book in your twenties. It would not have saved you from idiocy and heartbreak, but it would have helped to be reminded occasionally about what really matters. A.C.S.
