Sinopsis

Well, Dick's dead. Now what?

Margo, his widow, is trying to dodge the tsunami of paperwork and other tasks coming her way. She doesn't deal with details-why do you think she was married in the first place? Dick always handled the drudgery. Not terribly well, it turns out.

Margo's ex-husband (the first one, not the dead one) and their two adult children are trying to support Margo-who seems to be finally entering adulthood at the tender age of sixty-two. Dead Dick's ex-wife and their daughter consider Margo a maneater, so the funeral is a nightmare. Life in New Brunswick lately is a tornado of siblings, children, pets, marriages, health issues, and endless bureaucracy.

And at the centre of it all is Margo, living alone for the very first time, going back to work as a drugstore cashier to make ends meet, and trying to endure everyone else's judgements about the woman she is when she barely knows herself.

How old do you have to be to come of age?...and has anyone seen Dick's will?

With humour and heart, national bestseller Lesley Crewe walks readers through the incredibly disruptive domino effects of the death of one unremarkable man-and the evolution of the flibbertigibbet wife he's left behind.
