Harold a dix-neuf ans et vit avec l'idée de la mort. Son obsession macabre le conduit à assister aux enterrements. Maude a soixante-dix-neuf ans, elle est amoureuse de la vie, des hommes et du monde entier. Lorsque la vieille dame indigne rencontre le jeune homme solitaire, c'est le début d'une histoire d'amour aussi folle que passionnée. Un roman excentrique, véritable hymne à la vie.
