A Book a Week – Elsewhere

I heard about Elsewhere a long time ago but just didn’t feel like reading it. I thought it would be morose. I figured it is about death and all. Except that it isn’t really. And it really wasn’t morose at all.

In fact, it was quite sweet. Not super upbeat but gentle and interesting and so very unique. I am glad I read it even though I can’t say I loved it. Mostly, I found it charming and unusual.

It’s not really about death as much as it’s about the afterlife or the author’s version of it and all the detail in the book makes it a worthwhile read.
