Summary

An unforgettable celebration of life, a hymn to the land, and a meditation on the memory and dreams of youth. To be invited to walk beside a dying man, a good man, to be asked into his mind as its existence is counted down, to be offered his eyes into the abyss, to know another soul in the honesty of the deathbed. A privilege. Michael Pascoe weaves an evocative and unusual memoir around his relationship with Jim, his friend since boarding school, as he faces up to terminal illness. We meet a group of friends exploring their youth, the travails and hilarity of aging, dealing with mortality and letting go
