The Wakes (Paperback)

'A truly delightful debut novel . . . Funny, moving, tender and wise, I ate up every delicious word' Liane Moriarty 'I adored this novel. Charming, poignant and moving but also very funny' Cathy Rentzenbrink It's winter in Sydney and the lives of two strangers have fallen apart. Newly separated and in need of a distraction, Clare agrees to help her neighbour Louisa with a funeral catering business that has bitten off more than it can chew. Chris, an emergency doctor, has witnessed too many deaths but still feels compelled to attend the occasional wake. When Clare and Chris meet, the good in their lives is slowly illuminated. After all, the thing about death is that it makes life matter. Funny, moving, wise and hopeful, The Wakes is an irresistible debut novel about old friends, lost love, good food and new beginnings.
