Kris Springer's Reviews > Getting to Know Death: A Meditation

There were times when I felt more in tune with the author’s vision but ultimately realized that this is a book for a narrow audience—readers familiar with Godwin’s novels and life, and I don’t have that frame of reference. I came to this looking for a book about facing death that would reference her familiar but also the universal—and there wasn’t enough universal for me. For a Gail Godwin fan, I’m sure this was deeply moving but it was as if it was written in a language I don’t speak.
