"You’ve failed in life? With us you’ll succeed in death."
In this clever black comedy, the Tuvache family owns and operates a store unlike any other – one that is filled solely with products that help in committing suicide. Whether it be sharp weapons, sturdy ropes, poisons or the unimaginable, anything remotely deadly can be found in the Suicide Shop. This little family business prospers in sadness and depression until a formidable opponent arrives. Alan, the third and youngest Tuvache child, gradually becomes a bad influence on the rest of the clan and what’s worse, their customers. For with his positive attitude and glowing smile, Alan’s love of life becomes infectious. And 10 generations of Tuvache-assisted suicide becomes a thing of the past.
With an original premise greatly appreciated in France, The Suicide Shop was a mainstay of the best-seller list, something Teulé has been accustomed to.
With just the right amount of humor, Jean Teulé masters the most delirious scenes…and wraps up his story with a celebration of life.
