The borning room by Paul Fleischman. Harper Keypoint, 1991.
A short novel which beautifully depicts the life cycle and the rightful place of both birth and death within it. As Georgina lies in the borning room in 1918, preparing to die, she remembers the room's place in her life, begun in 1851. This includes the deaths of her Grandfather and Mother, although it is that of her mother which affects her deeply.
