Dear Life by Rachel Clarke, Read by the Author

Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

Rachel Clarke’s authentic reading of her audiobook Dear Life allows her humanity to shine and her written words to be transformed into a moving listening experience. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss this memoir by a British doctor and former journalist who works with patients at the end of their lives. Her proper British articulation and relaxed phrasing are soothing, which softens the harsh physical realities she encounters in her end-of-life medical practice.
