Synopsis

FOUR FUNERALS. TWO MARRIAGES. ONE PRECIOUS LIFE.

'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.

'Life-affirming and joyful, even as it breaks your heart' EMILY ITAMI
'Insightful' THE TIMES
'Comfort food for your mind' HARPER'S BAZAAR
