Industry Reviews
"This is a painful book to read, not least because the reader is unsure to the end whether natural piety toward the author's mother will prevail against her severe atheist principles....[The book] is a merciless record of the trivia of death--old age and bed wetting, pubic baldness, enemas, Levin tubes, indignity, pain--all made tolerable because it also sets down the stages by which this renowned intellectual prig came to terms with her natural feelings and at the end allowed herself tears at a Catholic funeral. Perhaps Simone de Beauvoir's rage against death was...a form of prayer."
Cowley
