Product Description

Product Description

Everyone who knows her loves Lillian Veldeen Marshall. She is the small town matriarch of Westphalia, Michigan. Wife of over thirty years, mother of three, grandma and winner of pie contests, her titles go on and on. Lillian’s love for her family is nearly rivaled by her passion for organization and structure. Finding out that she is terminally ill, she sets out to write the lists and instructions her family & friends will need to live without her. The most challenging list materializes as she comes to the stark realization that her husband of over thirty years will be alone. This inspires her to swallow her pride and write a short list of women she approves for him to remarry.
What will Jerry do without her? How can he live in a world without Lillian? What will he do with Lillian’s List?

First of all grab some tissues before you start reading Lillian's list!!
A wonderful story about Lillian,who whilst battling breast cancer, draws up a list of suitable new wives for her beloved husband of 30 years. It immerses you in Lillian's life, with lots of reminiscing and laughter,as well as tears. A beautifully written, and very heartwarming story. Really enjoyed reading this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely 17 Jun 2012

Lillian's List is a beautiful story, but don't read it unless you are prepared to cry. We meet Lillian just days before she dies from a long and painful battle with breast cancer. She is loved by all who know her and is well known for making lists for everything. One of her last list is for her husband. She lists five women she believes would be a good fit for him. This is really her way of saying she wants him to continue on with his life after her death.

What you will find in this novel is a man's struggle to find who he is without the woman he has loved for so many years. I was surprised by the author's ability to paint such a realistic portrait of a person going through the grieving process. This is a lovely and heartbreaking tale of life, love and survival.

5.0 out of 5 stars A super read 1 Jun 2012
By Diana M. Hockley
Format:Kindle Edition
Why am I surprised that a man can write a book like this? Perhaps because all the books I've read so far about women facing death and setting their house in order have been written by women. Bradley Salter does a good job of showing how Lillian, a strong woman who has loved but one man all her life, faces losing him and all she holds dear.

I think we tend to forget that although each of us may face the grief of losing a person we love, the fact is we lose just the one. The person leaving loses everyone and how Mr Salter handles the portrait of Lillian and the aftermath of her death is the subject of the novel.

At first, Jeremy faces Lillian's passing fairly well. He is grief-stricken, but like many people, the initial coping is not perhaps as hard until later. As the loneliness settles in and Jeremy faces anniversaries of birthdays and marriage, his situation deteriorates. It is a measure of Salter's skill that I wanted to slap the daughter senseless and on occasions, shake Jeremy until his teeth rattled.

I do not give spoilers, but suffice to say, "Keep a tissue box handy, Bradley Salter will drag every speck of emotion out of you."
