Should We Stay or Should We Go

‘Hilarious… Fiery phrases spit and crackle. Disgust expands and bursts into belly laughs… a very funny book’Sunday Times

Metro‘Thought-provoking, timely, and extremely funny’

The Times‘Shriver said that her favourite novels are those that pack both an intellectual and emotional punch. With , she’s added triumphantly to their number’Should We Stay or Should We Go

Woman’s Weekly‘Witty and thought-provoking’

Financial Times‘I think Shriver’s novels are wonderful… fun, smart and, perhaps because of their author’s unconventional political views, unlike anything else you’ll read’

Daily Mail‘Entertaining and poignant’

‘Very moving… Shriver has the magic ability to make the reader invested in the fate – fates, I should say – of her characters’Daily Telegraph

‘Wickedly witty’Spectator

‘Decidedly timely’Scotsman

Washington Post‘This sharp-elbowed satire is also a brusquely tender portrait of enduring love’

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––-

Determined to die with dignity, Kay and her husband Cyril – both healthy and vital medical professionals in their early fifties – make a pact: to commit suicide together once they’ve both turned eighty.

A lot can change in thirty years, however…

By turns hilarious and touching, playful and grave, portrays twelve parallel universes, each exploring a possible future for Kay and Cyril. Do they honour their agreement? And if not, will they live to regret it?Should We Stay or Should We Go

Irish Independent‘Some books become so popular that the lucky author can thereafter churn out any old cobblers, confident in the knowledge that it will be published and find an audience. Lionel Shriver never took that easy route’
