The Household Guide to Dying
Debra Adelaide
Picador
Author of 'How to do' books & domestic columnist Delia Bennett is dying of cancer. Before she dies, Delia wants to put her household together by compiling a guide book on it – her last one.
Before she can complete her list, Delia needs to go back to the small country town in the Queensland where she followed her boyfriend as a pregnant teenager and fled from 8 years later after a tragic accident.This story partly blends facts and fiction. Adelaide's own son suffered from Leukemia while she wrote this book. She has drawn from those experiences in her description of Delia's illness and the grief of helplessly watching your loved one's last grips to life.
Don't be fooled by the grim title. This is a heartfelt warm tale of love and loss and will best suite those who have enjoyed 'The Memory keeper’s daughter' and 'My sister's keeper'.
