Margareta Magnusson is, in her own words, aged between eighty and one hundred. Born in Sweden, she has lived all over the world. She graduated from Beckman’s College of Design in Stockholm, and her work as an artist has been exhibited in galleries from Hong Kong to Singapore. She has five children. The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning is her first book.
What is this book about?
This is a guide to a life well-lived. It is about the wonder of the everyday and the lessons that age brings.
Wear stripes. Eat chocolate. Don’t leave empty-handed.
But also embrace change, let go of what doesn’t matter and take care of something or someone other than yourself.
The Swedish Art of Ageing Well is a gentle and welcome reminder that, no matter your age, there are always fresh discoveries ahead and pleasures to be enjoyed every day.
