This episode Tara is talking to Emma Cunliffe a locum civilian medical practitioner for the MOD and long standing Out of Hours GP about Fredrick Backman's book A Man Called Ove. They talk about unexpected friendships, grumpy old men, grief and how life experiences shape us in unimaginable ways.
This book does explore suicidal thoughts and attempts and whilst framed in a lighthearted way it is important we don't trivialise the topic or dismiss the topic.
