5.0
I loved When All Is Said so I was really eager to read Listening Still. As good as When All Is Said Was, Listening Still is definitely my favorite.
The concept of this one is a little bit bizarre as it's based on undertakers who can hear hear speak to the newly deceased and pass on their last words but it is done so well that it works beautifully.
Anne did an amazing job at portraying the tenderness that would be needed in such circumstances but also showed the difficulties and hardships that would come with such a dynamic.
This book is so beautifully written with well-worked characters that you can't help but immediately connect to. I don't cry when I read books but I bawled my eyes out with this one!
