Sister Agatha

She’s 118 years old, four steps from glory, and now she’s done playing nice. A “hilarious debut” from the award-winning travel writer (Irish Mail on Sunday).

Sister Agatha has lived a long, saintly life across three centuries—only to be told, during a routine check-up, that she’s got just one week left to live. It’s a bit of an inconvenience, really. You see, Sister Agatha once made a vow: to be the oldest person in the world. At last count, she was in fifth place. So close . . . 

But where there’s a will, there’s a way, and the super-centenarian creates a bold Plan B.

Armed with little more than rosary beads, a fertile imagination, and old-fashioned determination, Sister Agatha sets off on one final mission: to meet the four people standing between her and immortality and to gently expedite their demise. After all, vows are sacred. 

And Sister Agatha? She will not go quietly . . . 

A deliciously dark and delightfully funny romp across the globe, perfect for fans of Richard Osman.
