The Obituary Society

The concept is so unique and charming, but I wonder how much of it was inspired by real small-town traditions or stories the author heard.

The book made me laugh at times but also touched on deeper themes of grief and friendship. How did the author manage to keep that tone so authentic?

The setting feels so lived-in and cozy, I kept wondering if there's a full lore behind the town or if it was built just for the story.
