FOUR FUNERALS. TWO MARRIAGES. ONE PRECIOUS LIFE.

This is a story about Clare, Chris and Louisa. It is about two failing marriages, two strangers falling in love and two friends embarking on a potentially disastrous funeral catering business. It is most certainly not about frittatas (a terrible concession) and more to do with lemon tart (a perfect contrast of textures).

This is a story about all the things that make life worth living, and how joy breaks in even when you least expect it.

'Few people can write about food and heartbreak like Nora Ephron - that was until Dianne Yarwood . . . comfort food for your mind' Harper's Bazaar
