Product Review

A wry, witty, sometimes hilarious—and very practical—handbook on a subject that no one wants to think about, but that everyone eventually will. Whether you’re a couple committed "till death do us part" or a single living alone and liking it (or not)—you’ll be more prepared for the inevitable—and feel better about facing it—after reading this book. Yes, it’s about (shudder) death (yours, to be precise) and what you need to do in advance for your own peace of mind and that of your survivors (or whoever it is that will have to look after your affairs). The book takes its cue from that old Roman wit Marcus Aurelius, who said, “Death smiles at us all. All we can do is smile back.”
