Margareta Magnusson was born in Gothenburg in Sweden. She has worked for many years as an artist and has had her work exhibited as far as Singapore and Hong Kong. She has death cleaned many times, for herself and others.
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 * *
