Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Clare Mackintosh鈥檚 new book After The End follows parents who face the choice to end their critically-ill son's life. It鈥檚 something the author has also experienced. She discusses the debate around quantity versus quality of life, consulting her father who is a doctor, fearing judgement from family and friends, and how writing her novel helped her to process the harrowing experience.
