Shortlisted for the Banjo Prize, Megan's darkly funny and moving debut, The Very Last List of Vivian Walker, looks at how one family cope with saying goodbye to an ordinary marriage and an un-extraordinary life.
"Compelling. Beautifully relatable. [A] touching story that provides insight into how even the most ordinary person can leave a lot of love behind."
~Books+Publishing "Remarkably talented." ~WHO Weekly |
Vivian is dying, but still has plenty of things left to finish on her to-do list. Not her bucket list, her everyday list of chores that, despite her diagnosis, still need attending to. Her unfinished business includes jobs such as cleaning the fridge and uncluttering the toy room, while her husband’s list is skewed more towards having sex and going for long walks in the countryside. Their eight-year-old son Ethan also has a list including playing handball, building a robot and un-tidying his room.
