Mikki Brammer is an Australian journalist based in New York City, by way of France and Spain. She writes about design, architecture and art for publications such as Architectural Digest, Dwell and ELLE Decor. The Collected Regrets of Clover is her debut novel.
"This weird, lovely and sweetly satisfying novel [is] engaging and
accessible...Clover's emergence from a shuttered life is moving
enough to elicit tears, and Brammer's take on death and grieving is
profound enough to feel genuinely instructional." --The New York
Times Book Review "Beautiful, poignant and the literary antidote to
when life feels a little stationary." --Jessica George, New York
Times bestselling author of Maame "This is a beautiful tale of a
vulnerable, compassionate woman who finds that, in order to care
for others, she must also let herself be cared for. Even that
clich� feels moving, rather than saccharine, in Brammer's capable
hands." --Kirkus (starred review) "A comforting exploration of
grief, love and human connection that is sure to appeal to fans of
books that feel like a warm hug." --BookPage "Brammer writes with
grace and heart about the complicated and complex world of grief.
The Collected Regrets of Clover explores anticipatory grief,
denial, anger, loss, and--as the title suggests--regret. Despite
the heavy subject, though, Brammer's debut is never dark or
hopeless...[and] is ultimately a beautiful story of belonging and
connection and, clich� though it may sound, what it really means to
live life to its fullest." --Shelf Awareness
"The Collected Regrets of Clover is a warm-hearted, tender story of
love, life-lessons and letting go. Full of wisdom, it's a novel
that handles with profound sensitivity and delicacy important
questions that face us all, while fostering a joyful sense of hope
for the future. Clover is a beguiling character who has so much
more to offer the world than she knows, and it's a sheer delight to
watch as her horizons expand. The Collected Regrets of Clover
leaves us contemplating what it means to live our lives to the
full, without regrets. A beautiful, thought-provoking novel."
--Sarah Haywood, New York Times bestselling author of The Cactus "A
warm-hearted novel." --AARP "While this heartwarming debut novel
deals with death, it never becomes maudlin, instead focusing on
what makes a life worth living. Readers who appreciate seeing
quirky, isolated characters come into their own, such as in Eleanor
Oliphant is Completely Fine, will find much to love in this moving
novel." --Booklist "For all its talk of death, The Collected
Regrets of Clover is never dark or grim. This feel-good story is
beautiful, heartwarming and ultimately hopeful." --Reader's Digest
"A satisfying experience." --Library Journal "Warm, profound, and
expertly told, The Collected Regrets of Clover explores how
befriending death can help enrich our lives. While infinitely
poised in her role as a death doula, Clover's clumsy foray into the
world of the living will have you recalling the sweet awkwardness
of your first kiss and the thrill of new belonging. This is one of
those special books that will leave a handprint on your heart."
--Emma Brodie, author of Songs in Ursa Major "I couldn't put this
book down. The Collected Regrets of Clover is a tender, charming
delight, perfect for anyone who loved The Authenticity Project or
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine." --KJ Dell'Antonia, New York
Times bestselling author of The Chicken Sisters "What a beautiful
story! I loved the premise, which was skillfully and sensitively
executed. The characters are both memorable and relatable and the
subject of death is handled with refreshing honesty and
heartbreaking poignancy. This book will be one that I remember for
a long time, and it's a story that we can all learn something
from." --Ruth Hogan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Madame
Burova "Clover's story is a heartfelt and delightful deep dive into
death. You will turn the last page with a fresh zest for life and
absolutely no regrets." --Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off
Script "A poignant and uplifting novel, [and] a gentle story about
facing death without fear and a call to arms for living life to the
full. I defy anyone not to be moved by this warm-hearted, deeply
compassionate book and its lovable characters." --Freya Sampson,
USA Today bestselling author of The Last Chance Library "This book
definitely had me thinking and reflecting on my life, made me cry,
and I walked away loving the characters and rooting for Clover
feeling very happy with the way the book ended." --The Southern
Bookseller Review "Such a wonderful premise, beautifully executed.
I fell in love with Clover, longed for her world to open up and
cheered when she finally realised that comfort zones are designed
to be stepped out of. Poignant and ultimately uplifting, I loved
it." --Jill Mansell, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Promise
Me "A beautiful, uplifting novel about unexpected friendship, a
decades-old love story, and finding the courage to live your best
life." --Lucy Diamond, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Best
Days of Our Lives
