ABOUT
THE BOOK

The reason for writing this book was the thought that whatever beliefs or hopes people may have, they all have to face the same commonality when they die.
In exploring this theme, the author has tried to depict a sort of microcosm of the world which revolves round five people from different countries, nationalities, religions, cultures, social backgrounds and ages. They all die simultaneously, from various causes and face the same after-death experience.
The novel covers the backgrounds to their deaths, funerals and the overview and evaluation they each make of their individual lives.
