Being Dead by Jim Crace
3.0
A quiet, reflective unfolding love story between two unremarkable people, told starting with their murder on a beach where they have gone to reenact their first love-making 30 years ago.
I really got a feel for Joeseph and Celice and their daughter Syl. I enjoyed the factual accounts, poetic and detailed, of decomposition and the natural world. Still, it felt rather light on substance, but maybe that's me. It was what it was, and it didn't need to be anything more.
