Join Darwin author Josephine Kennedy Smart Jamieson at Palmerston Library this Friday as she is reading an extract and signing copies of her truly amazing, staggeringly emotional book called 'Last Touch', which is her own memoir of life after the murder of her son. A fantastic read for anyone, her story is one you'll remember for the rest of your lives. Dean Jamieson was murdered on 04/04/2006, leaving an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who held him dear. Dean's mother, Josephine, pens a devastating novel that is a deeply intimate and personal examination of the life and death of her child and the grief that accompanies such a loss. Jamieson critiques the landscape following an untimely death; the support of the social sector and the police, the role of the media and reportage and the effect on family. Jamieson's prose, whilst at times visceral, portrays the emotional weight of burying a child but offers, amongst the darkness, hope. This is a work, whilst being intimate, that transcends the personal and offers solidarity to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one.
