They had Xeroxed a prize-winning project she had done at school on the paintings of Queen Elizabeth I. There she was with a department store Santa, sullen in his muddy brown trainers while she grinned. She was caught in a handstand in her marigold leotard with the three BAGA badges sewn down one side. In cross-hatched shadows of the Eiffel Tower she stood squinting into the overdeveloped sunshine. She was all of her there. People were usually terrified of coffins and it was extraordinary to have drawn everybody close to her body at this moment, celebrating her exactly where she was lying at the last. A table piled with ladylike cakes went ignored. Poppy she was called. Poppy Richardson. Thinking about the time you spent together can make you miss that person even more, causing you more grief. But those memories can bring a smile to your face, too. After all, you likely feel grateful to have shared those moments and to have those treasured memories. Jump ahead to these sections:

Reader Reviews

Boyt is both funny … and poignant … but never less than impeccably truthful, with a broad, oft breathtaking wisdom.”—Emily Hourican, Irish Independent Curiously, although Tennyson was the first to use the exact wording of the sentiment as it is now known (‘’Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all’), the idea behind the quotation, as is so often the case with a good proverb, is older. In his 1700 play The Way of the World, William Congreve has a character assert, ‘Say what you will, ’tis better to be left than never to have loved.’

This is my first time reading anything from Susie Boyt and I was hypnotised with this novel.
