Description
The Funny Thing About Death is a moving and hilarious memoir of two unconventional girls growing up in the 1970s. Jo Caulfield recounts her experiences with her big sister Annie, who was diagnosed with cancer, and how they navigated their childhood and adolescence while Annie's illness progressed.
The tour that was supposed to be a celebration of Annie's life became a welcome distraction for both sisters, as they revisited their past and learned to behave when someone you love gets sick. Jo's account is a relatable and touching exploration of life with a loved one facing a serious illness.
With her caustic wit and razor-sharp observations, Jo Caulfield brings a unique perspective to her story, making it both entertaining and heart-wrenching. This is a story about two girls who didn't fit in, but found their own way to be interesting and experience life to the fullest.
