Being Dead by Jim Crace

5.0

Truly stunning novel recounting the last days and tracing back to the beginnings of love for two middle-aged biologists who get murdered on a deserted beach and are left to decompose. It's the most poetic, delicate, lovely story about death I've ever read, and gives such life to death that you leave the story in love with the cycle. For sober readers, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
