"The lives of ordinary people in a second rate city are given depth and tragic resonance in sensually realized prose. “The Dead,” in particular succeeds in rendering a perfectly realistic scene: a holiday party, brilliantly capturing different voices and registers, and then wallops us with a vision of life, love, death and meaning."

Finally, Lou's story after Will. I was scared to read it, scared to experience the pain of life after death, but I'm glad I did. It was nice to get some closure. However, I feel like there should be another book - or at least a novella, I wasn't 100% satisfied with the ending!

Absolutely beautiful, yet haunting book about a little girls experiences in nazi Germany. Her family are hiding away a Jew in their basement and Liesell is a touch of innocence in a mad ugly world.
Some of the perspective is from Death himself and it highlights the tragedy of the world wars.
