Description
In this poignant and darkly humorous novel from Booker Prize-winner George Saunders, the spirit of a young woman named Jill is tasked with guiding a dying oil executive into the afterlife. Her mission is to comfort him and ease his passage, a role she has performed countless times before. However, this particular client, a man deeply entrenched in denial about the harm caused by his industry, presents a unique challenge. As Jill navigates his stubborn resistance and her own lingering memories of earthly life, she must confront not only his unrepentant past but also the complexities of her own existence as an "elevated" spirit.
