Dava Shastri's Last Day
by Kirthana Ramisetti
reflective
medium-paced
I enjoy family dramas and this one had an interesting premise of matriarch and philanthropist Dava Shastri who decides on her life and death on her own terms after a terminal cancer diagnosis. She arranges for the news of her death to break early, so she can read her obituaries and summons all of her children to be there to spend one last weekend together. Fascinating premise and the author had some really great insights on legacy and family. Dava's character was the main focus and she was very well written but the children- not so much. They felt a bit underdeveloped and cliched. But the end of the book was very strong for me as Dava's time drew to a close in her world.
