Long regarded as a masterpiece of Simone de Beauvoir, A Very Easy Death is a deeply moving, day-by-day account of her mother's final days after being hospitalized following a fall. Despite being a devout Catholic, her fear of death overrides her faith, and as her body succumbs to illness, she clings to life with fierce, primal desperation. In portraying her mother's refusal to "go gentle while her autonomy and dignity are taken from her," Simone de Beauvoir demonstrates the power of compassion when combined with acute intelligence (Sunday Telegraph). Powerful, touching, and occasionally shocking, this is an end-of-life account that no reader is likely to forget.
