NEIL GAIMANAn Irish Times Book of the YearIn this profoundly moving and
remarkable book, journalist Hayley Campbell explores society’s attitudes
towards death, and the impact on those who work with it every day. ’If
the reason we’re outsourcing this burden is because it’s too much for
us,’ she asks, ’how do they deal with it?’ Would facing death directly
make us fear it less?Inspired by her own childhood fascination with the
subject, she meets embalmers and a former death row executioner, mass
fatality investigators and a bereavement midwife.
She talks to
gravediggers who have already dug their own graves and questions a man
whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear. Through Campbell’s
incisive and candid interviews with people who see death every day, she
asks: Does seeing death change you as a person? And are we all missing
something vital by letting death remain hidden?’Essential,
compassionate, honest’ Audrey Niffenegger, author of THE TIME TRAVELER’S
