#cemetery

IDK why, maybe because I'm GenX and did this myself, but I really do enjoy any story that involves wandering a cemetery -- as long as it's not horror, which I guess this might be, but not the kind that would give you nightmares like that. Nay, the nightmares would be the kind where you create problems while you try to solve problems. Into the Bright Open is on my TBR.

I read this back in February, but have been delinquent in posting.

I found a lot of this tedious. I expected more Colin Dickey‘s Ghostland, and less cemetery guidebook. The history told here is by turns heartbreaking and rage-inducing - from the anonymity of “enslaved persons” cemeteries, and racial and economic discrimination, to the disrespect shown to the deceased and their living families in the name of capitalism. Yeah - a lot of rage. (August 2024 selection for The Morbidly Curious Bookclub)

There were many good threads of a story that never found their destiny.

I loved the Marrow Thieves by this author so I was excited to read this. Paid full price. About half way through and I just find it flat. To continue or no?

This was a rec I saw from a fellow Litten and I enjoyed it a lot! It was really so fascinating. Definitely made me see cemeteries in a new way. I also thought learning the history of it all was so interesting. I weirded my family out as I shared with all of them the various things I learned like how/when embalming bodies started 😂

Gosh I really loved this book. The writing is beautiful, almost lyrical sometimes, and the story was so compelling & moving.
It is a ghost story, a love story. It's about grief & how difficult it is to move forward. It's about family & identity and what it means to feel like you don't belong.
I loved the subtle magical realism of it all. I appreciate the indigenous perspective of this author & the depth it brings to her characters and storytelling
