This is a strange, yet delightful book. Using the zombie trope to explore the concept of grief is, to me at least, pretty unique. In short, unsparing sentences we follow the unnamed narrator as she leaves the hotel where she has lived with other undead to set off on a journey to leave her grief behind. Smart, clever and surprisingly poignant, this was a great read.
