Summary
When Keelin Shanley passed away aged 51, it was hard to grasp that someone so filled with life was gone. But a light so bright never really goes out, especially since in her last few months Keelin left behind this remarkable record of her life - a life cut short, but lived to the fullest.
Charting the twists and turns of both a career as an investigative journalist and a lengthy battle with cancer, A Light That Never Goes Out reveals with real honesty what it’s like to keep living your life whilst dealing with the challenges of cancer treatment.
Critic reviews
"A beautiful love story, a behind-the-scenes career exposition and a candid telling of what it is like to live with, and die from, cancer. Heartbreakingly honest and heartachingly inspirational." (Caitríona Perry, RTÉ Six One News co-presenter and author)
"I found myself moved again and again by how simply and truthfully Keelin talks about the experience of dying and I am in awe of the immense courage she showed in her final months." (Lenny Abrahamson, director Normal People, Room)
"I was deeply moved by her courageous, candid memoir." Madeleine Keane, Irish Independent)
