All the Living and the Dead by Hayley Campbell is by far the best book I have read on this particular subject: Individuals who work with death for a living. As someone who has always wanted to work with the dead for a living, this book was incredibly fascinating. Not only is it well-researched, but I learned something new within each chapter.
I love the formatting of this book as it was easy to read. Hayley Campbell's writing style is personal, descriptive, and just absolutely wonderful. I nearly cried with how beautiful some descriptions were. She makes you feel comfortable, it feels as if you're listening to a friend or loved one talk about the topic of death, and not just the mundane clinical stuff, there is meaning and feeling in her words. You can tell she has a passion for writing and the subject of death.
I think if you have a fear of death or are generally interested in the subject, you will devour this book and it will give you a more meaningful and in-depth prespective on death.
This book will forever be a favorite and I will be purchasing a finished copy and reccomending it to everyone!
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC and Hayley Campbell for this incredible work of art. Absolutely beautiful!
