Infused with the emotional power of Me Before You and the irresistible charm of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and Be Frank with Me, a moving and joyous novel about an elderly woman ready to embrace death and the little girl who reminds her what it means to live.
Check out these reviews:
"Witty, endearing...Lyons strikes a winning balance, reaching deep feelings while avoiding the traps of sentimentality."
—Publishers Weekly
"Lyons’ touching tale of intergenerational friendship is reminiscent of Frederik Backman’s A Man Called Ove...this is a thoroughly enchanting feel-good read."
—Booklist
“The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett is an exquisitely poignant tale of life, friendship and facing death. In the latter, the author dares to explore a subject that many shy away from, but she does so with touching sensitivity, gentle humour and absolute honesty. Eudora’s courage, dignity and wry sense of fun are beautifully drawn as she takes the reader on the heart-breaking yet ultimately uplifting journey of her life and death. Everyone should read this book.”
—Ruth Hogan, author of Queenie Malone’s Paradise Hotel
