Swedish artist Margareta Magnusson has written a book, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, about putting your house in order before you die. The author who describes herself as somewhere between eighty and a hundred talks to Jane about why she thinks shedding unnecessary things is so important at any age, but particularly as you near the end of your life.
