The End of the Alphabet

Meet Ambrose Zephyr: thought of by friends as better than some; by his wife, Zipper, as in need of no adjustment. On or about his fiftieth birthday, Ambrose is bluntly told by his doctor that he has one month to live. And so he and Zipper embark on a whirlwind expedition to the places he has most loved or longed to see, A through Z, Amsterdam to Zanzibar.
