Mrs Death Misses Death by Rumer Godden

A weary, world-walking embodiment of mortality befriends a struggling writer and asks them to record her memories, sending the pair on a lyrical, time-skipping journey through intimate losses and public tragedies. Blending myth, memoir, poetry, and prose, their collaboration confronts injustice, grief, and the quiet labor of endings while uncovering flashes of humor, tenderness, and hard-won hope—and, in witnessing death’s story, discovers new reasons to live.
