The Horn Book | Bill Richardson Talks with Roger about Last Week
In Last Week, Canadian writer (and Whole Foods clerk) Bill Richardson briefly sketches a child’s last week with their grandmother — and they know it’s the last week because Flippa, the grandmother in this story, has chosen to die via a scheduled, medically assisted suicide rather than suffer any longer from her terminal illness. Illustrated by Emilie Leduc, the short novel is going to present a where-do-I-shelve-it dilemma for many libraries, as so many of the most intriguing books do!
