Me Before You

This very touching story by Jojo Moyes is about Lou Clark who takes a job with Will Traynor. Will is quadriplegic after a collision with a motorcycle and he has lost the desire to live. Lou tries to help him regain that.  This is a story that addresses the issue of euthanasia and it does so with sensitivity so that you empathise with the characters on both sides of the debate. Funny and melancholy in equal measure.  As an occupational therapist I also detected a theme about the power of occupation, interested to know if others feel the same.
