First I will say that the rest of the title is " & Other Lessons from the Crematory". So now you know - and will either be curious about the book or repulsed! I was curious. There is some history of death customs (and I love history). There are some entertaining stories of people that Doughty met through her work. There are honest descriptions that happen to bodies after the death. (And I did get a few goosebumps thinking about family that have been cremated). Mostly it is the story of Caitlin which begins when she is in her twenties. She has a degree in medieval history which doesn't really make one very employable. Death had always fascinated her so I guess it is not too strange that she found employment at a crematory. I found this book to be very readable and fascinating. Certainly not for everyone but it is certainly less gruesome than watching an action movie!
