Book or story about assisted suicide
September 25, 2022 7:12 AM Subscribe
In the last year or so I read a novel or short story about a terminally ill woman who goes on a trip to India with her friends. It ends with an assisted suicide in the US. I cannot remember the author and cannot find it in my library history or purchase history.
Oh, and the hotel was owned by a princess! It may have been the Raj Palace Hotel.

Response by poster: Wow that is so close but I don’t think that was it. I believe Kevorkian featured in it. My memory is terrible so maybe I am way off but I do remember there were hoops to jump through for the assisted suicide and the hotel wouldn’t let her stay there because they knew that is what she was in town for.

Best answer: Ok, that may be one of the pieces from Festival Days by Jo Ann Beard. But I don't think that includes the India trip.

Response by poster: Yes! That is it. I guess I conflated two stories.

So glad I could help, but now I'm wondering about that other story! I looked through my library and goodreads history today, but no luck. It's going to haunt me.
