I received this as an eGalley from NetGalley.

Rob's memoir about his son Henry was heartwrenching for all the known reasons but I'm glad I read it to learn more about caregiving and NHS.

Rob Delaney's son Henry died at the age of two after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.

In A Heart That Works, Delaney discusses his son's illness from initial concerns to diagnosis, treatment and his eventual death.

The book is beautifully written, honest, heartfelt and gut wrenching. The love Delaney has for his son shines through in every page as well as the courage he and his wife have had to keep going for their other three sons. Despite the subject matter, there are funny moments as well as wonderful recollections of moments with his son before his untimely passing.

Beautiful and heartfelt - a wonderful read.

Hilarious and heartbreaking, just like life. The author shows us how life doesn't end with the loss of a loved one, even the one who is loved most of all. The light of hope shines bright in this book.
