What a treat it was to talk to Ani Gavrilovic about what must be one of the most moving, and thought provoking novels I have ever read. Maylis de Kerangal's Mend the Living is the story of 24 hours in the heart of 19 year old Simon Limbeau. It is a story of death and life, of organ transplants and human stories, of a day from many different perspectives. It is a story of love and hope as well as loss and darkness.
