A celebration of the enduring power of writers who help all affected by cancer to endure suffering, find meaning and recover hope. Emcompassing novels, memoirs, poetry, short stories, and more. "The Breath of Consolation" draws from cancer literature's rich history to present fifty literary treasures.

Beathaisnéis/Scéal cúlra:
Josephine Brady, born in Co. Cavan, was educated in Loretto College Cavan and University College Dublin. Josephine was appointed as Cavan County Librarian in 1991 and dedicated her working life to the promotion of libraries, reading and literature. Connecting readers with great writing is her lifelong passion. In 2014, a cancer diagnosis abruptly ended Josephine’s career, but not her drive to bring readers and great writing together. "The Breath of Consolation" is her first book.
