From there, Lionel Shriver spins out twelve different parallel versions of what might actually happen to the couple, from care homes and cryogenics to a cure for ageing itself, weaving in Brexit, the pandemic, and the everyday texture of a long marriage along the way. Sharp, funny and unsentimental, it's a thought-provoking take on ageing, mortality and how much can still change in a life, from the author of We Need to Talk About Kevin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48215262068948,"sku":"TVJ-025609","price":17.25,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/Photo05-07-2026_73425PM.jpg?v=1783319045","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/should-we-stay-or-should-we-go-by-lionel-shriver","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
