Being Dead by Jim Crace
4.0
I picked up a copy of another book of his 'Quarantine' recently (I'm a sucker for Booker prize nominated authors) but haven't read it yet.
Then I found this and thought it looked okay, at 210 pages and with pretty short chapters I thought I'd fly through it, once I started reading it though I found I kept putting it down to think about parts I'd just read.
It's not a spoiler to say it's about a couple who return to the place where they first got together as students and meet a brutal and unexpected fate (It tells you that on the back) and there's the title too
