This book is incredibly moving, and although it is an emotional read about death and grief it also very life affirming. The story is written really well and I think anyone who has felt grief or witnessed its effect on others will be able to relate to this book. The characters and their behaviour are all very relatable and believable.
Jonathan manages his death in the same way he managed his life by trying to teach people lessons right up til the end. His will is anything but straightforward as his only requirement is that his three children must agree on how his legacy will be distributed with no mention of his ex wife or his current partner. The story follows one weekend with Jonathan’s three children as they all come together to try and resolve their father’s will, but there is a lot of history to get through first before they can move forward...
