With the twenty-first century just a distant memory and the world in environmental chaos, many people have lost the will to live.
Business is brisk at The Suicide Shop. Run by the Tuvache family, the shop offers a variety of ways to end it all, with something to fit every budget.
The Tuvaches go mournfully about their business until the youngest member of the family threatens to destroy their contented misery by confronting them with something they've never encountered before: a love of life. Jean Teulé lives in the Marais with his companion, the French film actress Miou-Miou.

Rezensionen
'A suicide shop that is full of life'
LE FIGARO

'A gently comic fable'
FINANCIAL TIMES

'Jean Teulé presents the zany world of The Suicide Shop with just the right amount of humour ... and wraps up his story with a celebration of life.'
LE MONDE

'Original, irredeemably mocking and unexpectedly poignant; The Suicide Shop is a timeless classic. Teulé's subtle and understated humour is exquisitely French and his ability to mix up the serious, the taboo, the comical and the tender displays a brilliance rarely seen.'
THE TRUTH ABOUT BOOKS

'an enjoyable, thought-provoking little book, with an original quirky style of its own'
VULPES LIBRIS
