A Very Easy Death

<em>A Very Easy Death</em> has long been considered one of Simone de Beauvoir's masterpieces. The profoundly moving, day-by-day recounting of her mother's death 'shows the power of compassion when it is allied with acute intelligence' (<em>Sunday Telegraph</em>). Powerful, touching, and sometimes shocking, this is an end-of-life account that no reader is likely to forget.
