Sixty-three and suffering from late-stage multiple sclerosis, Edie is reliant on aides to perform even the most basic functions of her daily life. Now, as she has long said she would, she has decided to end it all. But first Edie wants to gather her far-flung loved ones for one last epic party - a death party.

With a huge generosity of spirit and crisp, insightful prose, Death Party is a beautiful, bustling novel about family, grief and what we owe to those we love.
