One of my favorite authors, Nina George, wrote The Book of Dreams. This is a story about Henri, born in France and now living in London. He is on his way to see his son at school when he steps off a curb and is struck by a car causing multiple broken bones and a head injury. He lies in a hospital. For two weeks he is in a medically induced coma. After that he is still in a coma. His son comes to visit him. An ex-lover comes to visit him. They talk to him and although he cannot respond, their words enter into his dreams. He lives in between life and death. I really enjoyed this tender story.
