Samenvatting

A forensic anthropologist from the University of Cambridge travels to Latin America to excavate the mass graves of 'the disappeared' and reunite bodies with their loves ones.

'Meticulous, luminous, utterly brilliant. The prose is as delicate and sharp as a ribcage, but the book's beating heart is Alexa Hagerty's wise and compassionate voice, a welcome guide through the atrocities she documents. Equally powerful on the horrors we do one another and the care we are capable of, Still Life with Bones is essential reading as a human.'
-Alex Marzano-Lesnevich, author of The Fact of a Body

'Still Life With Bones is a stunning book, which forces the reader to ask themselves questions about grief, justice, the cruelty humans are capable of, and what it means to be human in the first place.'
-Sally Hayden, author of The Fourth Time We Drowned

'Touching but achingly honest-a most amazing account of training as a forensic anthropologist...When Hagerty talks about 'lives being violently made into bones,' I defy you not to be moved.'
-Dame Professor Sue Black, author of All That Remains

'With poetic prose, Hagerty takes us to a liminal space between life and death, where forensic anthropologists descend into darkness in search of light. This is a must-read.'
-Clea Koff, author of The Bone Woman

'Still Life with Bones will hold readers rapt. A startling and profound meditation on death and resilience.'
-T. M. Luhrmann, author of How God Becomes Real

'In this unforgettable debut, Alexa Hagerty reveals the intimacy and sacredness of forensics... a slow, intricate counterweight to the obliterating power of modern violence. Still Life with Bones is at once horrifying and impossibly hopeful.'
-Francisco Cantú, New York Times bestselling author of The Line Becomes a River
