Last Touch by Josephine Kennedy Smart Jamieson
Dean Jamieson was murdered on 04/04/2006, leaving an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who held him dear. Dean's mother, Josephine, pens a devastating novel that is a deeply intimate and personal examination of the life and death of her child and the grief that accompanies such a loss. Jamieson critiques the landscape following an untimely death; the support of the social sector and the police, the role of the media and reportage and the effect on family. Jamieson's prose, whilst at times visceral, portrays the emotional weight of burying a child but offers, amongst the darkness, hope. This is a work, whilst being intimate, that transcends the personal and offers solidarity to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one.
Josephine Jamieson was born in Ayr on February 9th 1956 to James and Freda Anderson. She lived in Aberdeen later in life for 31 years. She was a mother of four, until her eldest child Dean was brutally taken away from her through murder. This is her story.
