The hilarious and heartbreaking Australian bestseller FOUR FUNERALS. TWO MARRIAGES. ONE PRECIOUS LIFE.
An irresistible debut novel that is funny and hopeful about death, poignant about life, and a love-letter to the comforts of food and friendship
'Delicious' LIANNE MORIARTY
'A delight' SUNDAY EXPRESS
'Uplifting' OBSERVER
This is a story about Clare, Chris and Louisa. It is about two failing marriages, two strangers falling in love and two friends embarking on a potentially disastrous funeral catering business. It is most certainly not about frittatas (a terrible concession) and more to do with lemon tart (a perfect contrast of textures).
This is a story about all the things that make life worth living, and how joy breaks in even when you least expect it.
