A review by sheeena
All the Living and the Dead by Hayley Campbell

4.0

Great work of nonfiction exploring the concept of death. It ranges from embalmers, funeral directors, crime scene cleaners, executioners, and even murderers. Campbell meets with professionals within these fields and we get an insight in how it works and how they feel about it, how they got into it, etc. Really interesting and insightful as well. I thought this would be a little triggering for me as I did lose a friend earlier this year however, it was done in a way where I didn’t feel triggered. It’s done in a compassionate way which I really respect.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book!
