About the book
Walter Augustus is dead. His current state of existence has become a monotony of sweet tea and lonely strolls and after decades stuck in the Interim — a posthumous waiting room for those still remembered on Earth — he is ready to move on. Only when he is forgotten by every living person will he be able to pass over and join his family in the next stage of the afterlife. At last the end is tantalizingly close, but bad luck and a few rash decisions may see him trapped in the Interim for all eternity.
Letty Ferguson is not dead. Letty Ferguson is a middle-aged shoe saleswoman who leads a pleasant and wholly unextraordinary life, barring the secret fortune she seems unable to tell her husband about. However, when she takes possession of an unassuming poetry anthology, life takes on a rather more extraordinary dimension.

My Review
A really interesting and quirky book whose protagonist, Walter Augustus, is dead and waiting in the Interim - a heavenly waiting room. In order to move on to eternal happiness, he needs everyone on earth to forget about him. It is quite amusing in parts, definitely poignant and a book that you will remember. The earthly goings-on between a shop assistant, Letty, and her husband plus the sister from hell keep the reader entranced as we wonder if she will confess her secret fortune. Will Walter eventually be free or is he doomed to wait for all eternity in the Interim? Connected by a book of poetry this book is certainly different - refreshingly so!
