Diane Rehm’s When My Time Comes advocates for compassionate choice in end-of-life care, sharing personal experiences with suffering, loss, and the importance of conversations about death and wishes for dying.

In Dava Shastri’s Last Day, Kirthana Ramisetti offers a thought-provoking exploration of grief, legacy, and the impact of Medical Aid in Dying on family dynamics. The story follows Dava Shastri, a billionaire Indian-American icon, who invites her family to her bedside before choosing to end her life with the assistance of her doctor. As her last days unfold, Shastri reflects on her past, her legacy, and the secrets that emerge within her family. Ramisetti's debut novel raises complex social issues like philanthropy, feminism, and multiculturalism, making it a compelling, if occasionally lengthy, read that leaves readers reflecting on difficult moral questions.
