What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Till Death, or a Little Light Maiming, Do Us Part by Kathy Lette, read by Melissa Madden Gray and Kathy Lette.

One dead husband. Three grieving widows.

When she hears a man has been killed by a Great White shark, Gwen races to the beach only to find that all that remains of her husband is his swimming cap and a piece of torn, blood-stained wetsuit. Her grief is soon interrupted by Tish, screaming for information about the accident. When Gwen reassures her that it's her husband, Jason Riley, who’s perished, Tish's response is earth-shattering for them both: Jason was her husband too.

The women's mutual animosity is not assuaged when they learn that Jason recently sent all his – make that their – money to a mysterious ‘business partner’ in Egypt called Skye. But when they fly to Cairo to confront her, they find another grieving widow whose life-savings have gone missing...

As this double-crossed threesome cross continents in their search for truth and retribution, they start to realise they're embarking on a journey of self-discovery, renewal and friendship too.

Praise for Kathy Lette:
‘Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better.’ DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, THE GUILTY FEMINIST
‘Deliciously rude and darkly funny, but with compassion and humanity at its heart. Read with relish.’ NICOLE KIDMAN
‘Kathy Lette can turn from raunchy farce to the most tender emotion in a trice.’ STEPHEN FRY

Critics Review

A terrific, raunchy romp with heart! Just what we need right now
MAGDA SZUBANSKI
Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better
DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, THE GUILTY FEMINIST
A funny, feisty, gallivant around-the-world quest by three widows searching for answers after they discover all of their money has been stolen by their dead husband
LoveReading
The bawdy and raunchy humor will appeal to readers who enjoy lines like “never darken my Dior again”, but this is truly a story of female empowerment, friendship, and how it’s never too late to discover who you are
