Description
Introducing "Death Actually," a heartwarming women's clean romance filled with compassion and humor. When tragedy strikes, Maggie finds herself navigating the challenges of single motherhood after her parents' sudden passing and her husband's departure, leaving her with two young children. With a deep breath, she sets aside her pride and returns to her quaint hometown, where she reluctantly embraces her family's legacy as a funeral director.
Fast forward twenty years and it is winter in Queenstown, New Zealand, and skiers flock to the vibrant town. However, Maggie's plate is full, weighed down by the loss of her mentor, Betty, her best friend Elka's impending surgery, and her daughter Kate's unexplained withdrawal from life. Meanwhile, her son Nick feels burdened by guilt, serving fast food to a former Olympic hopeful whose dreams were dashed by a crippling injury. Amidst it all, an enigmatic movie star arrives, too famous to heed advice, creating a whirlwind of excitement and chaos.
In the midst of personal and professional challenges, Maggie finds solace in the presence of the new town doctor -- a kind, attractive, and single man. However, much to her dismay, she seems to stumble through their interactions, struggling to make a positive impression. All the while, life carries on, people pass away, and Maggie is faced with the solemn duty she has sworn to fulfill.
In "Death Actually," a tale of resilience, love, and unlikely connections, Maggie discovers that even in the face of loss, there is room for new beginnings and the power of community. Join her as she navigates the bittersweet journey of self-discovery, finding hope, joy, and unexpected surprises along the way.
Editorial Reviews:
"Like any good book there is sorrow as well as celebration, but friendship and love is an important thread entwined throughout the pages and anyone who likes an inspiring family drama of modern living will find this a good read and like me, they will find the vivid descriptions around Queenstown to be captivating." New Zealand Booksellers' Review.
"The author has gently moulded the strands of the story together with humour and it moves along at a brisk pace with some very satisfactory outcomes from the twists and turns she created among the characters. The underlining theme highlights strength, reliance and hope while looking to the future." New Zealand Booksellers' Review.
"Death Actually is a light and lovely read; a love story with a healthy dose of comedy, an engaging cast and multiple plot lines. It's full of life (and death) and infiltrated my emotions enough to make me cry at the end. Definitely worth a read." Louise, Wardini Books
