All That Remains by Sue Black

informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

Two hours or so into listening All that Remains, I had to stop and re-read the synopsis because I had no idea what it was supposed to be about. This first portion of the book is deeply unfocused whilst Black waxes poetic about her philosophy surrounding death and personal (to her credit) accounts of her experiences of loss. Even so, she is a compelling enough writer/narrator that I opted to power through.

I'm glad I did. When Black does get into the mechanics of her career the book finally manages to gain some momentum. Her conversational style then takes the edge off what is a series of incredibly grim case studies.
