Everyone should die this way.

In her senior home in Cannes, Marguerite can feel her world shrinking. She'd like to bow out of life, but that's not her choice to make. So she fully intends to die somewhere else, with dignity. But before that, she has one last task: teach her grandson Emmanuel how to love. A photographer in Tanzania, he seems more worried about endangered elephants than his own lonely life.
Roxanne’s been lonely too, since abandoning her career as a poker player to seek meaning. Her arrival in Marguerite’s home will upend both their lives. Spanning over three generations and two continents, this novel tackles planned death, Africa’s elephants, and love's rebirth with a sprightly waltz-like pace.
