In September 1997 Justine Picardie’s sister, Ruth, died of breast cancer. In this remarkable book, Justine tells the story of life after death – a year in her own life after Ruth’s death; and of a search for the afterlife in the age of reason, of scepticism, of science. It tells of the yearning for a voice amongst the silence, and of how we fill the space that appears when someone dies; or how the space fills itself.

My friend lent me this book ... I hadn't had time to read it and when I tried to return it today she told me to register it. Another TBR on my shelf. It does look interesting, but I'm really not in the right frame of mood right now .. so it will wait on my NEW bookshelf.

BTW this is the 23rd book I've registered this year in Turku, the European Capital of Culture!

It's time to let this book go. Hope it finds a new reader and a new temporary home before being re-released again.

I love reading where books end up -and what other readers thought of the book (good and bad!) - so do please take time to make a journal entry if you possibly can. Appreciate that!
