Summary
GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. Shep Knacker is bored with his humdrum existence. He's sold his successful business for a million dollars and is now ready to embark on his 'Afterlife' - a one-way ticket to a small island off the coast of Africa. He tries to convince his wife, Glynis, to come with him, but she laughs off the idea. When Glynis is diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, Shep's dreams of an exotic adventure are firmly put on hold. He devotes himself to caring for his sick wife, watching her fade before his eyes. Shep's best friend, Jackson, knows all too well about illness. His sixteen-year-old daughter has spent her life dosed up on every treatment going while he and his wife Carol feed their youngest daughter sugar pills so she won't feel left out. But then Jackson undergoes a medical procedure of his own that has devastating consequences .A deeply affecting novel, told with Lionel Shriver's trademark originality, intelligence and acute perception of the human condition.
