**WINNER OF THE SCOTTISH NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2021**
**A FINANCIAL TIMES, I PAPER AND STYLIST BOOK OF THE YEAR**
'In his absorbing book about the lost and the gone, Peter Ross takes us from Flanders Fields to Milltown to Kensal Green, to melancholy islands and surprisingly lively ossuaries . . . a considered and moving book on the timely subject of how the dead are remembered, and how they go on working below the surface of our lives.' - Hilary Mantel
'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
'Ross has written [a] lively elegy to Britain's best burial grounds.' - Evening Standard (*Best New Books of Autumn 2020*)
'One of the non-fiction books of the year.' - The i paper (*2020 Best Books for Christmas*)
