About
When Hali's father asks her to help him commit suicide to spare the family the misery of a long illness, she reluctantly agrees. Hali's family insists on letting "God's will" decide. Hali, brooding upon the idea of predetermination and an afterlife in a way that is both challenging and deeply moving, is ultimately unable to do what her father wishes. She is forced to accept the help of a manipulative male nurse, adding further complications and a slow and painful end.

"The emotions are raw at times, but there's a cool tone of postmodern post-mortem throughout as well, raising hackles and sympathy from first to last."
