'Meticulous  luminous  utterly brilliant. The prose is as delicate and sharp as a ribcage  but
the book's beating heart is Alexa Hagerty's wise and compassionate voice  a welcome guide
through the atrocities she documents. Equally powerful on the horrors we do one another and the
care we are capable of  Still Life with Bones is essential reading as a human.' -Alex

which forces the reader to ask themselves questions about grief  justice  the cruelty humans
are capable of  and what it means to be human in the first place.' -Sally Hayden  author of The
Fourth Time We Drowned 'Touching but achingly honest-a most amazing account of training as a
forensic anthropologist...When Hagerty talks about 'lives being violently made into bones ' I
defy you not to be moved.' -Dame Professor Sue Black  author of All That Remains 'With poetic
prose  Hagerty takes us to a liminal space between life and death  where forensic
anthropologists descend into darkness in search of light. This is a must-read.' -Clea Koff

profound meditation on death and resilience.' -T. M. Luhrmann  author of How God Becomes Real
'In this unforgettable debut  Alexa Hagerty reveals the intimacy and sacredness of forensics...
a slow  intricate counterweight to the obliterating power of modern violence. Still Life with
Bones is at once horrifying and impossibly hopeful.' -Francisco Cantú  New York Times
