The Very Last List of Vivian Walker
By Megan Albany
Unit price / per
Vivian Walker is dying. This is not on her list of things to do. A darkly funny debut that proves even the most imperfect of lives is worth celebrating.
'A heartbreakingly funny, unflinching, unforgettable debut. I just loved Vivian Walker!' LIANE MORIARTY
'Will make you laugh, cry and realise that even the most ordinary life is full of extraordinary moments' MAMAMIA
Vivian Walker's life is exceptionally ordinary. Average husband, check. Darling son, check. Refrigerator in a state of permanent disarray, check. Everything is thoroughly and frustratingly routine, even being terminally ill.
In preparation for D-day, Viv has made a list of essential things to do. She doesn't expect to become spiritually enlightened or have any outlandish last-minute successes. All she wants is to finish her unfinished business.
The Very Last List of Vivian Walker will make you want to embrace humanity in all its selfishness, beauty and awkwardness.
