In \u003ci\u003eThe Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning\u003c\/i\u003e, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMargareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you'd ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children's art projects). Digging into her late husband's tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter | Margareta Magnusson | Hardcover | 9781501173240 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks F 1786109","offer_id":50777326846210,"sku":"1786109","price":37.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71LthGwN_zL.jpg?v=1792160971","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/gentle-art-of-swedish-death-cleaning-how-to-free-yourself-and-your-family-from-a-lifetime-of-clutter","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
