Samenvatting
One of Buzzfeed's 29 Books We Couldn't Put Down This Year
Every page of this novel is a point of no return; once youve read Karolina Waclawiak's Life Events, you will never see life, death, grief, and healing the same way.Saeed Jones, author of How We Fight for Our Lives
A woman at a crossroads learns the only way to reclaim her life is to help others die
Karolina Waclawiaks breakout novel, Life Events, follows Evelyn, who, at thirty-seven, is on the verge of divorce and anxiously dreading the death of everyone she loves. She combats her existential crisis by avoiding her husband and aimlessly driving along the freeways of California looking for an escapeone that eventually comes when she discovers a collective of exit guides. Evelyn enrolls in their training course, where she learns to provide companionship and a final exit for terminally ill patients seeking a conscious departure.
She meets Daphne, a dying woman still full of life; Lawrence, an aging porn king; and Daniel, who seems too young to die and whom Evelyn falls for, despite knowing better, not to mention the exit guide code. Each client opens something new in Evelyn, allowing her a chance to access her own grief and confront the self-destructive ways she suppresses her pain. When Evelyn travels through the Southwest to an afterlife convention to further her death education, she must finally face her complicated relationship with her alcoholic father and reconcile her life choices.
Sensitively observed and darkly funny, Life Events is a moving, enlivening story of the human condition: the doldrums of loneliness, the consuming regret of past mistakes, and the thrill, finally, of finding meaningand lovewhere you least expect it.
