Why read it?

2 authors picked The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love a good family drama where there’s a found family.

A young reporter is assigned to write the obituary of an alive woman, Mrs. Kip. Mrs. Kip lost her husband, never remarried, and never had children. But she lived what could appear to be a thousand lives as she held different roles and careers throughout her life.

In order for one job/role/calling to end, a part of her had to die. Now, faced with a young blonde who favors her, Mrs. Kip feels as though maybe this is the daughter she never had, the daughter who would listen to…

Two women, one at the end of her life, and one just beginning to ponder how best to live hers, meet at this important crossroads.

The story of Mrs. Kipp, who is dying, is gradually revealed, and I grew to love and respect her as I read about the people she encountered during her life and how her life grew more meaningful each time. Her desire to pass on the legacy was endearing.

A story of hope in what’s to come. I highly recommend it.
