Although the title evokes death and doesn't shy away from the subject, Richardson's memoir is replete with the beauty of real life (as opposed to some glossed-over version of it). It is clear she loved her work, and that love is infectious, as is her writerly voice in describing it. The result is an easy, forthright and enjoyable read (with a few squirming moments among the details!), as told by a person I inherently know I would like and admire.
