David Bradshaw
Edie's Last Christmas
Buch
It all starts with a phone call late on a Saturday evening, a week before Christmas, to inform him that Edie, his mother, has died. This call sets in motion a series of events that are incredible, hilarious and surreal. And all because Edie wanted to donate her body to medical research. David was determined to fulfil his mum's wishes but, oh, did he have a few words with her along the way! Edie and Eric, David's parents, were a curious couple. More different two people couldn't be - Edie full of fun and mischief, with a wicked and unrestrained sense of humour; Eric with almost no sense of humour, but who unwittingly caused so much warm mirth…

It all starts with a phone call late on a Saturday evening, a week before Christmas, to inform him that Edie, his mother, has died. This call sets in motion a series of events that are incredible, hilarious and surreal. And all because Edie wanted to donate her body to medical research. David was determined to fulfil his mum's wishes but, oh, did he have a few words with her along the way! Edie and Eric, David's parents, were a curious couple. More different two people couldn't be - Edie full of fun and mischief, with a wicked and unrestrained sense of humour; Eric with almost no sense of humour, but who unwittingly caused so much warm mirth in his family. Edie would have revelled in the bizarre happenings following her death, but Eric would have been mortified, so would always need protecting from the craziness of it all. And though he was protected from the events following his beloved Edie's death, he had to face some traumas of his own before he peacefully died nine years later.

Über den Autor
David is one of the baby boomers from parents still celebrating the end of the war. Born in Stamford in 1947, the family moved to the country when he was 11 years old to the Wooden House, described in the story, where the most impressionable period of his life was spent. Apart from a brief period in the Merchant Navy, his working life was in Financial Services. David has dined out many times over the years on this story when it was always greeted with incredulity, humour and warmth.
