Sunday Times Dot, the author of Ducks, Newburyport, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2019 and the Goldsmiths Prize. This book is a sharp, passionate, outrageous, and incredibly funny tale. Dot used to think she was perfect, with her pointy nose, pink skin, and blonde hair. However, her life has taken a turn for the worse. She now lives on Abalone Avenue with a husband who is a womanizer and a swordfish chaser. To make matters worse, Dot has a fatal flaw that the universe doesn't seem to care about. Fed up with her miserable existence, Dot decides to end it all. She sets out to commit suicide in a rather unconventional way: by using a tea cosy as a suicide note and then visiting the morgue.

Despite her valiant attempt, Dot wakes up in the morgue, alive and well. She is initially confused and disoriented, but soon realizes that she has been given a second chance at life. Dot decides to take advantage of her newfound freedom and embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She meets new people, tries new things, and discovers that life is not as bad as she thought it was.

Through her adventures, Dot learns that life is full of surprises and that there is always something to live for. She also realizes that her fatal flaw is not as bad as she thought it was and that she can use it to her advantage. In the end, Sunday Times Dot emerges from her journey with a newfound sense of hope and determination. She is grateful for the second chance she has been given and is determined to make the most of it.

This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt like life was too much to handle. It is a witty and poignant tale that will leave you laughing and crying, but ultimately leave you feeling inspired and uplifted. Don't miss out on this incredible book!
