Packed with positive and practical suggestions, this slim volume could change your life -- JULIET STEVENSON
Describing her own age as "between 80 and 100," she advocates a methodical, thoughtful process, perusing the contents of each room in your home at your own pace before deciding whether to gift, recycle, ditch, etc. That's the "gentle" in the art: Magnusson's is a soothing, grandmotherly voice * * Vogue * *
A fond and wise little book . . . I jettison advice books after I've flipped through them. This one I will keep * * New York Times * *
For those planning to declutter, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning tackles the subject with charm and wit . . . Margareta Magnusson mingles practical tips with memoir and wisdom * * Good Housekeeping * *
[A] frank and honest approach to mortality, and our complicated relationship with hoarding * * Scotsman * *
One of the most charming, funny, and motivating books I've read in some time . . . Magnusson is an absolute delight. This book is so much more than lifestyle tips. It's full of life. Magnusson's candid humor and unassailable spirit comes through on each page * * Buzzfeed * *
Short, appealing and practical . . . A gentle acknowledgement of the fact that life is short and that you should truly treasure the things that really matter * * The Wee Review * *
A slim yet sage volume . . . While Marie Kondo gave us strict instructions to only keep things that spark joy, Magnusson's book is straightforward and unsentimental (with a bit of humor). The main message from this mother of five is: Take responsibility for your items and don't leave them as a burden for family and friends * * Washington Post * *
Witty, useful and oddly profound * * Entertainment Weekly * *
Solid guiding principles for organising your home, no matter your age or life circumstance * * Business Insider * *
