Publisher's Summary:
Mum always knows best....
The stunning debut for fans of Celia Imrie and Dawn French.
Meet the daughters of Iris Parker. Dee, sensitive and big-hearted; Rose, uptight and controlled; and Fleur, the reckless free spirit.
At the reading of their mother's will, the three estranged women are aghast to discover that their inheritance comes with very tricky strings attached. If they are to inherit her wealth, they must spend a series of weekends together over the course of a year and carry out their mother's bucket list.
But one year doesn't seem like nearly enough time for them to move past the decades-old layers of squabbles and misunderstandings. Can they grow up for once and see that Iris' bucket list was about so much more than money?
Critic Reviews:
"Warm, wise and full of heart.... I absolutely loved this book." (Lucy Diamond, author of Summer at Shell Cottage)
Members Reviews:
Interesting, shame about the 'self-helpidness'
What did you like most about The Kicking the Bucket List?
Good story, well narrated and poignant
What did you like best about this story?
The characters were great and believable...
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I found it engaging, but as the story moved on I couldn't help wondering if it might be better on the self-help section. It's attention to detail in the loss and grieving process started to disengage my interest as a novel, but could easily see how it would be helpful to others.
Intelligent chic lit!
I cant bear standard chic lit, full of one cliche after another. I wont consider any book with cupcakes or Italian sea shores on the cover. I took a chance on this though after a 5*, but particularly tough going book on domestic abuse. I needed something light before returning to my favourite crime fiction genre. This is a tale of mature women, sisters, forced together after their mothers death. It was a good read/listen. I could have done without the excessive love interest, but even that was handled differently to the usual chic lit. All in all, recommended.
Anyone with a complex relationship with their siblings will relate
Really beautifully narrated, and the story is very compelling. It describes very gently and beautifully a complex relationship between the three sisters in older age, and gently reminds us things aren't always what they seem in life. Truly heartwarming. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
