Death of an Ordinary Man is an unstinting and immensely powerful account of caring, grief, and witnessing a loved one’s death.
Sarah Perry's father-in-law, David, died at home nine days after a cancer diagnosis and having previously been in the good health. The speed of his illness outstripped that of the NHS and social care, so the majority of nursing fell to Sarah and her husband. They witnessed what happens to the body and spirit, hour by hour, as it approaches death.
Written in testament to Sarah’s father-in-law, David, this launch event will explore loss, love, and one man’s life.
