.Quote: "For this reason, I regretted so much for my brother's youth, and I have never before regretted this much for anyone, not my father, nor my mother, nor my husband, nor even myself.".

The Summary
A short, dark novella that goes in two directions, one about the present and the story of her younger brother's illness and the conflicting feelings that brought the heroine together with him, and the other is a tape of memories in which she reviews the past of her family's turbulent and disjointed life and how she lost her family members one after the other.

But what does that have to do with the title of the novel? This is what you will get to know as you read it...

The last moments of parting with a dying patient may seem harsh, but at the same time, every second is precious because it is irreplaceable..

Evaluation:

Although I liked the idea and considered it influential, it sheds light, albeit in a slightly different way than usual, on the disjointed family relations and the loss of intimacy between its members and their consequences.

Unfortunately, I found it truncated at the end and superficial in some details that I would have liked to have elaborated on..Have you ever read this novel or any other novel by the author? Share your opinion.
