Enthralling and emotional, ‘The Best Way to Bury Your Husband’ by @ is a must read this year.
What came from startling statistics during Covid lockdowns is a dark comedy tackling issues at the forefront of domestic violence. Handled gracefully, Casale has brought to life the lives of four women intrinsically linked by violence and their humorous attempts at navigating their struggles together in a world that is against them.
Law enforcement is truly no match for a gardening club
