A best fiction book of 2021 for The Times
'Hilarious... Fiery phrases spit and crackle. Disgust expands and bursts into belly laughs...
a very funny book' Sunday Times
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, Should We Stay or Should We Go 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?
