«This book is sociologist David Clark's latest publication in an impressive series of publications on the history of the hospice and palliative care movement which many of us have gratefully used in our own work.»
Mortality, vol 12, no.4
«I would recommend this book to anyone involved in hospice work, be they health professionals or affected families, as a reference to the hospice spirit and how we need to go the extra mile for the comfort of a patient at this special time of life. Clark has become the preserver of the legacy of one of the greatest women of the past century. This is our inheritance.»
