Graves of the Great and Famous: From Jane Austen to Elvis Presley by Alastair Horne

3.0

This book had fantastic photographs and covered a wide range of interesting graves! However, I found the descriptions of the graves themselves to be a bit lackluster-- there is always so much symbolism in how graves are designed and decorated and I thought the text would have benefitted from more description of those aspects rather than just bite-sized biographies of the individuals. Additionally, the formatting was rather chaotic and distracted from the overall enjoyment of reading the text. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a surface-level guide to famous graves.

Thanks to NetGalley and Amber Books Ltd. for this ARC!
