Smoke Gets In Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory

Most people want to avoid thinking about death, but Caitlin Doughty, a twenty-something with a degree in medieval history and a flair for the macabre, took a job at a crematory, turning a morbid curiosity into her life’s work . . .

Honest and heartfelt, self-deprecating and ironic, Caitlin's engaging style makes this otherwise taboo topic both approachable and engrossing.  By leading readers behind the black curtain of her unique profession Doughty demystifies death.

"Alternately heartbreaking and hilarious, fascinating and freaky, vivid and morbid, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes is witty, sharply drawn, and deeply moving." -- Jezebel.com
