About this listen
Liane Moriarty
'I adored this novel. Charming, poignant and moving but also very funny'
Cathy Rentzenbrink
FOUR FUNERALS. TWO MARRIAGES. ONE PRECIOUS LIFE.
This is a story about Clare, Chris and Louisa. It is about two failing marriages, two strangers falling in love and two friends embarking on a potentially disastrous funeral catering business. It is most certainly not about frittatas (a terrible concession) and more to do with lemon tart (a perfect contrast of textures).
This is a story about all the things that make life worth living, and how joy breaks in even when you least expect it.
'Few people can write about food and heartbreak like Nora Ephron - that was until Dianne Yarwood . . . comfort food for your mind' Harper's Bazaar©2023 Dianne Yarwood (P)2023 Orion Publishing Group Limited

A touching, affirmative tale
A well-written, nicely narrated story of love and loss, friendship and rivalry. The connective power of food is a strand through the book, as is the importance of nature. Gently engrossing, with the two women protagonists immensely likeable.

Enjoyed this
The narrater had a nice un-jarring voice.
-(I was anxious about this because it is an Australian production).
I listened in one go as I gardened, and couldn’t stop until it was finished. All the characters were interesting.
