Description

WINNER OF THE ACFW AWARD 2020 FOR BEST CONTEMPORY FICTION 3rd PLACE OF ANGEL BOOK AWARD 2020 FOR CONTEMPORARY FICTON The Blackwells are a family with an extraordinary history and astounding traditions, which include attending their own funerals before they die!

Their ways are questionable and their stories about deceased relatives are as bold as their red hair, but it is their eclectic wares that keep tourists coming back to their market in the town of Coraloo. Charlie Price, whose world has come crumbling down after a lapse in judgement leaves him unemployed, finds himself flung into the chaotic world of the Blackwells when he relocates to Coraloo with his socialite wife, Velveteen, and shy son, Gideon.

Here Charlie attempts to make a living as a 'picker', reselling under-priced items he picks up at the market.

Charlie soon finds this new way of life under threat and his quest for simplicity seems to be crumbling.

Perhaps it's time for Charlie to have a funeral of his own?
