A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERâEUR¿Tender, fascinating âEUR¿ Lucid and illuminatingâEUR(TM) Robert MacfarlaneFunerary rituals show us what people thought about mortality; how they felt about loss; what they believed came next.

As she did with her pre-history of Britain in Ancestors, Professor Alice Roberts combines archaeological finds with cutting-edge DNA research and written history to shed fresh light on how people lived: by examining the stories of the dead.
