Dine kære skal dø. Du skal dø. Vi skal alle dø. Vi ved bare ikke hvornår. Medicinske fremskridt skubber hele tiden grænserne for overlevelse, og vi er blevet stadig mere løsrevet fra det faktum, at vi er dødelige. Denne bog handler om oplevelsen af dødelighed i dag. Om at blive gammel og dø. Med indsigt og følsomhed fortæller Atul Gawande om sine erfaringer som kirurg, om sine patienter og om sin egen families oplevelser. Han lærer os at acceptere livets grænser. Det endelige mål er, trods alt, ikke en god død, men et godt liv – helt frem til slutningen. "Gawande er en mesterlig fortæller og en gudsbenådet formidler. Det er en bog om livet og døden og derfor en bog for alle." - Jacob Birkler, formand for Det Etiske Råd.
