Making Rounds with Oscar: The Extraordinary Gift of an Ordinary Cat by David Dosa
4.0
(Spoilers)
Taken literally this book is about a cat who recognises when a patient is about to demise. However, it is so much more. Dr. Dosa may not write in poetic prose but -his simplistic and straightforward style helps to highlight the tender manner is which he approaches dementia and death. It highlights the journey that the patient and their family sets upon from diagnosis till death. His retelling of these life stories is delicate and beautiful- further showing his interpretation of humanity. This is a book that offers closure whilst providing you with the company of a cat. Oscar would be proud.
