mscarlettc's review
I feel this book was not as advertised. I was expecting a comical and reflective interaction between the fictional character of Mrs death and the writer Wolf and their developmentoof some kind of friendship or relationship. Instead I got a lot of words and not much story. It was all exceptionally confusing and overly complicated. Although in parts were well written and offered interesting explorations of the relationship between modernity and death it ultimately fell far short of its synopsis and the reviews that accompany the book. Overall very disappointing. Additionally not one for fiction lovers who don't particularly engage with poetry. It's largely written in prose.
