Kicking the Bucket List

Three sisters. Their mother's dying wish. One last chance to be a family ... The stunning debut for fans of Celia Imrie and Fern Britton. Funny, poignant and life-affirming, The Kicking the Bucket List tells the story of three estranged sisters who are thrown together by the terms of their mother's will. If they are to receive their inheritance they must spend a series of weekends together over the course of a year and carry out the carefully-crafted activities that their mother has devised for them. Told through the eyes of sensitive but big-hearted middle sister Dee, we get to know the sisters through their enforced weekends together; Rose, the uptight and controlled and Fleur, the wildest of the three. None of them are perfect, they are all carrying secrets and all of them bear responsibility for the rift in some way. Can the three women take the lessons from their mother's bucket list and peel back the tough layers of mistrust and misunderstandings to reveal the soft underbelly of love and kinship beneath?
