How I Decided to Die from Happiness

Sylvie Chaber is a flat and slouching brunette who is not ugly enough to be pitied, nor attractive enough to be desired. Despairing of finding a personal life by the age of forty-five, she decides to buy herself a plot in a cemetery. But since if you're going to die, it should be with music—before death, one must talk to someone about it, and Sylvie goes to see psychotherapist Frank. Since then, her plans go awry: instead of sitting and crying alone, the woman, following the psychotherapist's tasks, finds herself in comical situations that change her outlook on life and instill faith in a bright future. A sparkling and touching novel about how reckless actions completely change one's perspective… for the better!
