All the Living and the Dead: A Personal Investigation Into the Death Trade by Hayley Campbell

cadence99's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

3.0

While I had my moments of doubt with this book, mostly due to my concerns of it having the potential to be exploitative towards highly emotional topic, I think it was an overall really worthwhile read. There were some chapters I really didn’t love (the crime scene cleaner particularly), but there were more that I appreciated then those I didn’t. It’s an interesting exploration of the way some cope with the inevitability of death
