The Art of Taxidermy was such a beautiful book. Written in prose, the book starts as young Lottie has just experienced the death of her mother. As you progress through the book you see how she, her father, her aunt and grandma all cope differently with this tragedy. Meanwhile she discovers an acute fascination of dead animals and her aunt struggles to rationalize her new "obsession" with what it means to be a "girl". This is a powerful story of finding yourself and being true to yourself, as well as an insight commentary of how death affects family, its individuals, and its dynamics. I loved this book.
