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 WIFE‘Never macabre... poignant...
