we must read this book

I finished Life After Death just before September 11th and on the 13th I began reding A Death in the Family. Together these books provided a balm... the kind of balm one uses to bandage an injury and go on however painful going on is. There has never been a time when understanding human emotion,loss and the will to go on has been more important. Life After Death is jarring and it is smart. It will make you tough. A Death in the Family is tender and insightful. It will help you find a balance. We need what these books provide.

a gripping novel, alive with feeling

This is a engrossing, totally surprising novel. Who'd expect to find this dark humor married to such a depth of feeling? LIFE AFTER DEATH is peopled by strong characters, particularly Boyd, the central character whose heart is broken by the death of her husband, and restored -- at least partially -- by the strength she finds to do the right and difficult thing in her work as a doctor. Funny, heartbreaking, instructive and haunting all at once -- a terrific book about the ways we think about love and death.

A Great Read

This book is amazing. The plot is unusual, the sort of thing no one writes about, and everything is wonderfully described. (Despite the not extremely clear description of the caves)
