Description

No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased. 275pp. A book on the culture of grief and death in which writer and filmmaker Kevin Toolis gives an intimate eye-witness account of the death and wake of his father, and explores the wider history of the Irish Wake. He shows how we too can find a better way to deal with our mortality, by living and loving in the acceptance of death.
