Funny, tender, and wholly original, Death and Other Holidays is a year in the life of a young woman coming to terms with the death of her beloved stepfather, while attempting to find love in LA. We are introduced to her friends and family, as she struggles to launch herself out into the world, to take the risks of love - the one constancy in all the change. Told with a great good humour and underlying affection for all her characters, Death and Other Holidays announces a brilliant and assured new voice in American fiction.
