Zusammenfassung This book presents the unique! moving perspective of a gravedigger's daughter and her lifelong relationship with death. It is also a masterful meditation on the living elements of our cemeteries: our neighbors! friends! and families and how these things come together in the eyes of a young girl whose childhood is suffused with death and the wonder of the living.
