Description
Should We Stay or Should We Go is a humorous and poignant novel by Lionel Shriver that explores the complexities of enduring love and the human desire for dignity. The story follows Kay and her husband Cyril, two healthy and vital medical professionals in their early fifties, as they make a pact to commit suicide together once they've both turned eighty.
As the years pass, Kay and Cyril's lives take unexpected turns, and they find themselves facing a multitude of possibilities. By turns hilarious and touching, the novel portrays twelve parallel universes, each exploring a possible future for the couple. Will they honour their agreement, or will they live to regret it?
This thought-provoking and entertaining novel is a sharp-elbowed satire that also tenderly portrays the power of love. With its witty and engaging prose, Shriver's latest work is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the human condition.
