catnapping's review against another edition

challenging emotional funny informative reflective sad fast-paced

4.75

I was not expecting to get as invested in this book as I did, but the author's heartfelt, informative, and occasionally humorous style brought the topic of death rituals to life in a very human way. 

I listened to the audio book, narrated by the author who did a fabulous job.
