Determined to die with dignity, Kay and her husband Cyril both healthy and vital medical professionals in their early fifties make a pact: to commit suicide together once theyve both turned eighty.
A lot can change in thirty years, however
By turns hilarious and touching, playful and grave, Should We Stay or Should We Go portrays twelve parallel universes, each exploring a possible future for Kay and Cyril. Do they honour their agreement? And if not, will they live to regret it?
Some books become so popular that the lucky author can thereafter churn out any old cobblers, confident in the knowledge that it will be published and find an audience. Lionel Shriver never took that easy route Irish Independent
