Shep Knacker has long saved for "the Afterlife," an idyllic
retreat in the Third World where his nest egg can last forever.
Exasperated that his wife, Glynis, has concocted endless excuses
why it's never the right time to go, Shep finally announces he's
leaving for a Tanzanian island, with or without her. Yet Glynis has
some news of her own: she's deathly ill. Shep numbly puts his dream
aside, while his nest egg is steadily devastated by staggering
bills that their health insurance only partially covers.
Astonishingly, illness not only strains their marriage but saves
it.
From acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Lionel Shriver
comes a searing, ruthlessly honest novel. Brimming with unexpected
tenderness and dry humor, it presses the question: How much is one
life worth?
