"Praise for Delphine Horvilleur ""Horvilleur shows how it is possible to find language even for that which seems indescribable. Her deep reflections on mortality remind us that 'in death a place can be left for the living.'""--Kirkus Reviews on Living with Our Dead ""Horvilleur so beautifully gives life to her dead that readers will feel they had known them personally...What better way to show the Hebrew relationship with death than to tell the stories and celebrate the lives of those who have passed?""--Library Journal on Living with Our Dead ""Horvilleur has written an elegantly slim and majestically poetic book...in writing about death, she writes about the will to life as well.""--Religious News Service on Living with Our Dead ""Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and impressive books not only of the last year but of recent years.""--ABC (Spain) on Living with Our Dead ""A radiant book that, without sentimentality, invites us to celebrate life.""--Le Monde on Living with Our Dead ""One of today's most original voices of contemporary European Judaism.""--Avvenire (Italy) ""A hymn to the healing power of storytelling and the written word.""--Le Figaro on Living with Our Dead ""Moving...Delphine Horvilleur finds the right words to describe our time and its ghosts.""--ELLE Magazine (France) on Living with Our Dead"
