2018 reading challenge: A BOOK WITH SONG LYRICS IN THE TITLE

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the CrematorySmoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Ever since she witnessed the falling death of an infant when she was a young girl, Caitlin has been fascinated with death. This lead her to the job of being a cremation machine operator at a funeral home.

This book is her tellings of her experiences in the job and how it caused her to reflect on life and death.

While I was hoping for more anecdotes about her job and the people (living and dead) that she interacted with, I enjoyed the book overall and will be looking to read her next book.
