What you need to know before your trail
‘… I have friends and family, I am in this wonderful country, I have money, there is nothing much wrong with me except I am dying.’
Úna has little over a week left to live and wants to see Berlin for the first and last time. Her friend Liam accompanies her. As the city streets open up to them, so too do their pasts. Úna recalls her life – her lovers, her famous father, her alcoholic mother and the death of her younger brother. For Liam the weekend becomes a lesson in true living from a friend he is about to lose.

Berlin
This is the saddest walk around Berlin that you will ever read. A woman dying wants to return to the city and see the sights she loves and remembers and wants to remember for ever. There are many sights although a booktrail is not really suitable for this book given the subject. What is important is that you discover the tour for yourself, the journey of discovery and sadness of a woman dying and trying to commit everything to memory in the city that has drawn her to it.
