The Suicide Shop by Jean TeuléMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
In a not so distant future, where religions are all mixed into one and smiling is not a normal thing, the Tuvache family owns a suicide shop. That is, a shop full of artifacts to aid the general and depressed public in ending their life swiftly and safely.
The family is composed of Mishima, the father, Lucrèce the mother, Marilyn the daughter and Alan and Vincent, the sons. Perfect names for their profession.
But Alan, the youngest is not normal. He smiles, he sees life as beautiful and in a subtle way, changes all that surrounds him.
This little book (it's less than 200 pages long) is full of black macabre humor. And the ending... the ending is perfect!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
