Publisher's Synopsis
When Delia Bennet - author and domestic advice columnist - is diagnosed with cancer, she knows it's time to get her house in order. But as she writes lists and makes plans, questions both large and small creep in. Should she divulge her culinary secrets? Read her favourite novels? Plan her daughters' far-off weddings? Complicating her dilemma is the matter of the past, and a remote country town where she fled as a pregnant teenager. Forced to confront the pieces of herself she left behind, Delia learns what matters is not the past but the present - that the art of dying is all about truly living.
