About this listen

Michelle Williams, an attractive young woman with close family ties and an active social life, describes her first extraordinary year in her unusual new job as a mortuary technician. It’s a year in which, with innate good humour, she encounters death at its most tragic, bizarre, and hilarious. Her tale, neither gruesome nor sad, is enlivened by a range of colourful and eccentric characters, from pathologists and coroners to hospital porters and undertakers, giving us a glimpse of life - and death - that few of us will ever experience.

Really enjoyed this book, the narrator cannot do a Welsh accent at all, but that was a minor irritation in a book I really found informative and at times amusing.
The author is very honest about her work as an approved mortuary technition.

While interesting, this books stands out in stark contrast with others of its kind due to the lack of empty and care usually portrayed when handling the dead. Don't know if I will finish it later, this lady is cold and not in a matter of factly kind of way.
