This is a very good book. The professor's brilliance comes through. She has concluded about the American view of death pre civil war (the good death) and does not really consider alternatives. The in depth discussion of mourning customs is very much worth the read as is the discussion of poetry and the arts.
Overall, a great book. I would have liked more breadth in the discussion of death culture.
