Summary "My mother is dead, my father killer her." And so begins an extraordinary memoir. Spanning three generations, The Long Goodbye takes us deep into the lives of an Australian family as they survive record-breaking floods, outlast epic droughts and face the unforgiving realities of life on the land. This true story of grit and resilience depicts a family at their zenith, set against the spectacular backdrop of rural Queensland where life and death are never far apart. But not even the harshness of the Australian landscape can prepare them for what is to come as it poses the most heartbreaking moral dilemma of all: when a loved one is suffering, is euthanasia the answer?
