In the spirit of the New York Times bestselling A Man Called Ove, this is the heartwarming story of a man who decides to end his life before heβs too oldβbut then begins to reconsider when he faces complications from the world around him.
In an effort to delay the frailty and isolation that comes with old age, psychiatrist Millard Salter decides to kill himself by the end of the dayβbut first he has to tie up some loose ends. These include a tΓͺte-Γ -tΓͺte with his youngest son, Lysander, who at forty-three has yet to hold down a paying job; an unscheduled rendezvous with his first wife, Carol, whom he hasnβt seen in twenty-seven years; and a brief visit to the grave of his second wife, Isabelle. Complicating this plan though is Delilah, the widow with whom he has fallen in love in the past few months. As Millard begins to wrap up his life, he confronts a lifetime of challenges during a single dayβand discovers that his family has a big surprise for him as well.
