Norwich author’s fifth novel is a BookLife Editor’s Pick

Rootstock Publishing announces the March 10 release of novelist Edith Forbes’ fifth novel, The Lawnmower Lady, a voice-driven comedy about death, New England culture, small-town entanglements, and a green burial decades before its time.

BookLife by Publishers Weekly chose it as an Editor’s Pick, calling it “poignant without being saccharine and funny without ever losing heart, The Lawnmower Lady reckons with what it means to die—and to live.”
