No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
In this funny, insightful memoir, a young socialite risks social suicide when she takes a job at a legendary funeral chapel on New York Cityβs Upper East Side.
Good Mourning offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most famous funeral homes in the countryβwhere not even big money can protect you from the universal experience of grieving. Itβs Gossip Girl meets Six Feet Under, told from the unique perspective of a fashionista turned funeral planner.
