Eleanor Hutton is a young New Zealand General Practitioner – completely dedicated to her profession – whose ‘happiness’ is challenged by the deep and disturbing friendship that develops between her and her dying patient. The patient, Ted, in his middle sixties, is a widely travelled immigrant with an interest in ‘everything’, and his teasing and expansive vitality exposes Eleanor to the limitations of her settled life. After his death she learns, to her surprise and horror, that he has ‘gifted her’ the task of delivering his ashes to a life-long friend – a man of similar age who lives in a failed and corrupt southern African state.
Ted’s bequest is initially viewed by both Eleanor and her colleagues as preposterous – dangerous even – but, because she is ‘too good for her own good,’ Eleanor reluctantly agrees to undertake the journey. The result, which is narrated by a less-than-perfect ‘spirit’, records, through trying but comic and romantic adventure, a transformation – a transformation not only of Eleanor, but of all whom she meets. It is a transformation which endorses the discomfort of risk, and points the way towards self-awakening and fulfilment.

A great read undoubtedly reflecting the author's background and I presume, some of his experiences.The narrative is maintains a healthy pace ensuring the reader is swept along with the good doctor. However, I felt there could have been stronger and more empathetic descriptions of her state of mind as she met her many challenges along her journey. This is not to say the many issues she confronts are not outlined, but I would have wanted to learn more of her state of mind. In particular, although her love is intimated, and sometimes evoked, it really is not until the final scene that we are encouraged to accept that she loves him, and in the end, her announcement is almost an anticlimax. Much more could have been investigated here: his reaction, her future plans etc.
Nevertheless, the vibrant narrative was enjoyable and I would not hesitate to recommend this as good read, revealing much of a 3rd world country.
Well done Dr S!

A must read.
For anyone with an interest in either Africa or medicine this book is a must read. It is highly evocative, sad, humorous and intensely stimulating. I can not wait for the sequel, there must surely be one!
