Book cover for My Father's Wake: How the Irish Teach Us to Live, Love and Die
We have come to believe that this medical undertaking is our natural order. That the old and the sick will die happier amidst the babbling noise and alien light of a hospital ward. That the indignities inflicted upon them are necessary ...more

Hayley Campbell
“We’ve always had death. We’ve just avoided its gaze. We hide it so we can forget it, so we can go on believing it won’t happen to us. But during the pandemic, death felt closer and possible, and everywhere – to everyone. We are the survivors of an era defined by death. We will have to move the furniture of our minds to accommodate this newly visible guest.”
Hayley Campbell, All the Living and the Dead: A Personal Investigation Into the Death Trade

John Keats
“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”
John Keats, Bright Star: Love Letters and Poems of John Keats to Fanny Brawne

Hayley Campbell
“We’ve all got our own stories behind what happens. You can’t say someone who’s had a miscarriage at ten weeks is not as important as somebody that’s had a stillbirth at term, or a baby that’s lived for two days,’ she says, placing the wooden box back in the cupboard alongside the others. ‘There’s so much that’s misunderstood about pregnancy loss. The perception that you can just try again makes that little life seem not as important.”
Hayley Campbell, All the Living and the Dead: A Personal Investigation Into the Death Trade

Daphne du Maurier
“Mrs de Winter’s obsession with her insures that Rebecca will triumph over anonymity and effacement. Even a bullet through the heart, and burial at sea cannot quench her vampiric power. Again, one is reminded of Plath’s embodiment of amoral, anarchic female force – I rise with my red hair/And I eat men like air.”
Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

Charlotte Brontë
“I have a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you. And if you were to leave I'm afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I'd take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you'd forget me.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
