‘The stories read like fiction, from a writer well attuned to her craft. The life in each shines through and the characters practically leap off the page. It is incredibly moving, of course, but what it isn’t is miserable. Yes this is a book about death, but it is also a book about joy. There aren’t all that many books that change the way you see the world. This book really might. It will make you want to do a better job of loving and living. It will make you want to be kinder. And it will make you want to cherish every precious moment of your precious life.’ Sunday Times
‘With the End in Mind deserves to rank with Being Mortal and When Breath Becomes Air. But it’s also unique in showing us the numerous paths a death can take: how it evolves, what a deathbed is actually like, what matters most to the dying, and the bereaved. The stories – by turns touching, tragic, and even funny – show that death delivers far less sting given the right planning, information and a dose of honesty. Read it, and you’ll be better prepared for life, as well as death.’ Bookseller Magazine, December Book of the Month
‘Illuminating and beautiful... Mannix is good company, with a sound eye for an interesting anecdote and a sure ear for language. It’s not a gloomy book. I shed a few tears but it’s not gut wrenching and Mannix weaves the light and dark strands of her experience with finesse. It’s essential reading for anyone who will encounter death, and that means all of us.’ Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Times
