Description
In this darkly humorous and profoundly unsettling novel, a woman named Lily Bloom finds herself navigating the afterlife after succumbing to cancer. Transported to a strangely familiar suburban landscape, she encounters a world that is both shockingly banal and eerily reminiscent of life. Accompanied by an unlikely guide, Lily must confront the peculiar realities of existence beyond the veil, exploring themes of mortality, memory, and the enduring nature of the human condition.
