Cities of the Dead: The world's most beautiful cemeteries

An interesting book which could have an eclectic audience. A massive tome detailing various cemetaries and headstones and basically anything death related. I would say it is an interesting coffee table book because of the fabulous photography, however I found the narrative a bit like the authors' personal travelogue, which is a little short on detail outside of her own interests. I would have liked more detail on areas other than Europe as the South American, African and Caribbean cultures and traditions are very interesting. In saying that, it is a beautifully presented book and will appeal to many, I'm sure. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advance copy of Cities of the Dead.

This is wonderful. I am completely obsessed by visiting graveyards and am glad to see that a few of the ones I love are featured in this book. It has beautiful photographs of each site and a short history with highlights of each place to explain why the author chose it. There are sites here from all around the world and it has made me want to go to each and every place. It's splendid.
