About this ebook
WINNER OF THE ACFW AWARD 2020 FOR BEST CONTEMPORY FICTION
3rd PLACE OF ANGEL BOOK AWARD 2020 FOR CONTEMPORARY FICTON
Meet the Blackwells, a family entrenched in the tapestry of Coraloo, boasting an extraordinary history and astonishing traditions that push the boundaries of convention. Among their myriad eccentricities, one stands out—their practice of attending their own funerals before their final breath. With flaming red hair as bold as their stories about departed relatives, the Blackwells exude an enigmatic allure that draws visitors from far and wide to their vibrant marketplace.
Charlie Price, a man grappling with the aftermath of a life-altering mistake that has left him jobless, suddenly finds himself thrust into the whirlwind world of the Blackwells. Relocating to the enchanting town of Coraloo alongside his socialite wife, Velveteen, and reserved son, Gideon, Charlie embarks on a remarkable journey of self-discovery. In an attempt to make ends meet, he immerses himself in the peculiar trade of a "picker," scouring the market for undervalued treasures to resell. Yet, as Charlie embraces this new way of life, he soon finds his newfound simplicity threatened, and his quest for stability teeters on the edge of collapse. Is it time for Charlie to face his own symbolic funeral, bidding farewell to the ghosts of his past?
With each turn of the page, you'll be immersed in the poignant and heartwarming tale of resilience and redemption. Explore the complex dynamics of a family rich in history, as secrets unravel and relationships intertwine against the backdrop of Coraloo's vibrant marketplace. From the very first encounter, you'll be captivated by the vibrant characters and irresistible charm that pervades every chapter.
