Loss and adversity are part of the human condition, but an imperfect past isn’t always an indicator of what’s to come. This book traces a pattern: why is it that often the people with the hardest beginnings in life—children who experience displacement, disease, financial ruin, abandonment or bereavement—become the most successful adults? And is there something to learn from those people, who perhaps have the strongest sense of what matters most?

Da un divano sul quale si accorge di non avere un posto né in questa vita né nell'altra - nessuno, in famiglia, ha pensato a prenotare un loculo - la protagonista di questo romanzo, Ginevra, si alza per raccontare tutti coloro che invece a un posto per l'altra vita ci pensano: professionisti del settore dei servizi funerari (tanatoesteti, servizi funebri, architetti di tombe) e poeti, scrittori, cantanti, persone normali. Tutti sono accomunati - tutti lo siamo - dall'esperienza della morte (degli altri) che sempre dolorosamente riverbera, dopo, l'allegria di trovarsi vivi.

Londra, anni Cinquanta. L’Ammiragliato è un mondo di soli uomini, che indossano sobrie uniformi scure.

"Les enfants, les bébés, ils les appellent les "petitous". Et c’est vrai qu’ils sont des petits touts. Qu’ils sont un peu de leur mère, un peu de leur père, un peu des grands-parents, un peu de ceux qui sont morts, il y a si longtemps. Tout ce qu’ils leur ont transmis, caché, inventé. Tout. C’est pas toujours facile d’être un petit tout, d’avoir en soi autant d’histoires, autant de gens, de réussir à les faire taire pour inventer encore une petite chose à soi."
