Jumping the Queue ~ Mary Wesley

"This book opens with the main character, Matilda, tidying her life (literally and figuratively) in preparation for what we soon learn is her planned suicide. A curious beginning but it manages to draw the reader in to Matilda's life and immediately we're interested.

Matilda's perfect suicide is interrupted by some less-than-sensitive young people and then the whole thing is put on hold when a very interesting stranger crosses Matilda's path.

Ms Wesley's enjoyable book leads the reader to question what really makes life worth living. Is it family, friends, lovers, home, variety, health...? The more she discovers about her own life, the more Matilda grows disenchanted with all of the above."

An easy read, a compelling story, a heroine that could be anyone you know up until the wife's diary is made available then we end up in fairy land really.  Very Interesting though where-ever did this story come from.
