A brilliantly moving and darkly comic novel, which charts the attempts of dying heroine Delia – a modern day Mrs Beeton – to prepare her family for the future and lay to rest a ghost from her past.
Initially a slow read due to amount of detail, but does capture interest as it illuminates past events leading to the crisis of her life - death of son and subsequent transplant. Book could almost be autobiographical! Humour - especially in 'Dear' insets. Good ending.
Would recommend but selectively.
