內容簡介
內容簡介 A FINANCIAL TIMES, I PAPER AND STYLIST BOOK OF THE YEAR'Ross is a wonderfully evocative writer, deftly capturing a sense of place and history, while bringing a deep humanity to his subject. He has written a delightful book.' - The Guardian'The pages burst with life and anecdote while also examining our relationship with remembrance.' - Financial Times (best travel books of 2020)'Among the year's most surprising "sleeper " successes is A Tomb with a View. In a year with so much death, it may have initially seemed a hard sell, but the author's humanity has instead acted as a beacon of light in the darkness.'- The Sunday Times'Fascinating . . . Ross makes a likeably idiosyncratic guide and one finishes the book feeling strangely optimistic about the inevitable.' - The Observer"
