Who owns us when we're gone? Thomas Hardy's friends and family fight over his legacy (and mortal remains).
'Lyrical... beautifully crafted' New Zealand Herald
The story of Thomas Hardy's death told by his housemaid Nellie. 1928. As Thomas Hardy lies on his death bed at his Dorset home, Max Gate, a tug-of-war is taking place over his legacy... and the eventual fate of his mortal remains. What counts for more: the wishes of his family and dutiful second wife, Florence? the opinion of his literary friends? Hardy's own express desires? or 'the will of the nation'?
