Perfect for you if...

  • You've recently lost a parent or are caring for ageing relatives and need permission to feel both grief and relief at the same time.
  • You grew up in a chaotic or unconventional household and are still making sense of your family's quirks and priorities.
  • You enjoy intimate family stories that wrestle with messy emotions rather than neat resolutions.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer memoirs focused on a single dramatic event or crisis rather than quiet domestic reckoning.
  • You're looking for a self-help guide on decluttering or estate planning with practical checklists.
  • You want to read about someone who achieved peace with their parents; this is about learning to live with ambivalence.

About this book

After nearly two decades of caring for her elderly parents, Plum Johnson and her three younger brothers face conflicted feelings of grief and relief as they prepare to empty and sell their family home. The twenty-three-room house is filled with history, antiques, and the accumulated objects of their parents' lives. As Johnson undertakes this task, childhood items trigger difficult memories of her eccentric family during the 1950s and '60s. The process of sorting through the house proves both harder and more rewarding than anticipated. Through discovering new facts about her parents, Johnson gains a more accepting perspective on their relationships and comes to better understand who they were and what they valued.
