"Tamara Vukusic has a lovely knack of highlighting her favorite obits and turning them into nuggets of golden wisdom and humour...A decadent dissection of lives lived by characters whose habits and philosophies are worth emulating. A gentle reminder that it's not our salaries or credentials that define us." Shelley Joyce, CBC Radio
