But by carefully piecing together the evidence, the facts of a life can be rebuilt.Limb by limb, case by case - some criminal, some historical, some unaccountably bizarre - Sue Black reconstructs with intimate sensitivity and compassion the hidden stories in what we leave behind.Praise for Sue Black-'Utterly gripping' - The Guardian'Fascinating' - The Sunday Times'Moving' - Scotsman'Engrossing' - Financial Times
