One of de Beauvoir’s most personal works, and also considered one of her masterpieces.

A Very Easy Death is Simone de Beauvoir’s stark and quite acerbic account of her mother’s final illness. Written with the clarity and restraint that defines her best work, the book confronts aging, medical power, dependency, and the emotional contradictions of care. It is not simple in it's close attention to what dying looks like inside institutions, families, and the self.

The book sits somewhere between memoir, philosophical reflection, and quiet indictment of how modern societies manage death.
