'Buried Alive' is a little scary, but also a comedy at the same time.
My grandmother could never have written a memoir, so 'The Gravedigger's Daughter' is a homage to her life, and to the lives of other young women of her generation, which are so rarely articulated.
The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.
In America, burial means an embalmed body in a heavy-duty casket with a vault built over it, so that the ground doesn't settle. That body is encased in many layers of denial.
You are not dead until you are in that grave, so don't close the book. Don't give up.

If somebody from the past doesn't rise up from the grave and start talking to me, I haven't got a book. I have to hear that voice, the voice of the narrator. How she sounds will tell me who she is, and who she is will tell me how she will act - and that starts the plot in motion.

A man who dies, no matter how terrible his crime was, must be brought to burial.
The dead govern the living.
