About this listen
Editorial reviews
A moving, funny novel about a Type-A advice columnist dying of cancer and determined to go out in the best way possible, whether that means asking her children to color her casket or finding her husband a new wife. As an author, she's even writing a book about the experience: The Household Guide to Dying. This is a listen filled with memorable moments, vivid imagery, and important messages about the end of life, which performer Heather Bolton narrates with delicacy and sensitivity.
Critic Reviews
"Deliciously maverick ... dazzlingly original." (The Age)
"The Household Guide to Dying [leaves] you feeling enriched, uplifted and very glad indeed that you read it." (The Australian Women's Weekly)
"A novel about loving and grieving... filled with humour, warmth and sadness – just like life." (Good Reading)
"What an uplifting novel. It's gorgeously written, while also being absolutely page-turning and breathtakingly tender." (Cecelia Ahern)
"A beautiful blending of lightness and substance that centers around Delia, as quirky, funny, feisty and brave a character as any in contemporary fiction. I think you'll love this life-affirming novel. I did." (Wally Lamb)
