reviewed Final Acts: Death, Dying, and the Choices We Make on April 05, 2015
Final Acts
Harrowing book, troubling, but how could the story of one woman's experience with domestic violence not be? What's especially compelling about this book is how the author frames each chapter around one woman's experience and then integrates other research to help make sense of Bernice's life. In this way, I think it might work very well in the undergraduate classroom to bring to life all the complicated parts of domestic violence and give students human, but also empirical, insight into this issue.
