LIVING WITH OUR DEAD On Loss and Consolation

The biggest problem with this audiobook is that it is likely to spark so many ideas that listeners may need to keep stopping it to think about them. From a Jewish perspective, Rabbi Delphine Horvilleur meditates on death through 11 particular deaths. Although she is a leader of the Liberal Jewish movement, she often includes traditional views in her discussions. No one is excluded from her thoughts because of their beliefs. Narrator Jenna Rose Stein performs the text as though she is feeling it deeply and personally. There are moments that sound almost as if she is stifling a sob, and the listener understands exactly why that might be. The moments of humor are equally effective.
