In this stunning and captivating book, Delphine Horvilleur, one of the few female rabbis in France and a leader of the liberal movement of Judaism in the country, recounts eleven stories of loss, mourning, and solace, gathered over years of caring for the dying and their loved ones.

From Charlie Hebdo columnist Elsa Cayat, to Simone Veil and Marceline Loridan, "the girls of Birkenau"; from Yitzhak Rabin to Myriam, a New Yorker obsessed with planning her funeral, and her writer friend Ariane and her struggle with a terminal illness, Horvilleur writes about death with wit, humor, and compassion. Rejecting the modern tendency to push death out of our thoughts, she encourages us to embrace its presence as a fundamental part of life.

Drawing from Jewish tradition, the book "Living with the Dead" is a deeply humanistic, universal, and hopeful book that celebrates life, love, memory, and the power of storytelling to inspire and sustain us.
