Everything was lovely and nothing hurt

At first glance, Travis seems like a completely ordinary young man. He wears jeans and a t-shirt and lives in an unremarkable town. But he differs from his neighbours in one fundamental way. His job is to provide people with comfort in the final hours of their lives. Despite everything he knows and sees, he remains stoic, kind, and a little naive. He listens, he doesn't judge, and most importantly, he never tries to change fate. He knows that every life must eventually end to keep the universe in balance.

But then he meets Dalia and her wild eight-year-old daughter, Layla, who live across the hall. Over time, they both grow fond of Travis, and he discovers how difficult it is to maintain the distance that has allowed him to function for so long. In their company, he learns what is truly important in life and what death can irrevocably take away.

Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt is a book imbued with wisdom and compassion. It tells a story of gratitude for life, accepting its end, and finding one's own place in the world, especially when it seems impossible. It will touch anyone who has ever loved and lost, anyone who fears the passage of time.
