A Memoir "A wrenching tale of medical mistakes, death, shock, grief, and frustration, told with love and anger."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"An enduring contribution to the literature of grief."--New York Times Book Review
Sandra Gilbert's husband, Elliot, underwent surgery for prostate cancer at a major medical center, and then inexplicably died hours later in the recovery room. To this day, no one from the hospital has told his family how or why he died.
"The memoir recounts the events preceding Elliot's death and leading up to and beyond the legal resolution. But its power lies in the writers anger and her grief, and in her all-consuming determination: her book is a moving and extended meditation on moral obsession."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Detail by detail, like a good murder mystery, Wrongful Death gains momentum steadily and barrels to a satisfying conclusion."--Cleveland Plain Dealer
"
Wrongful Death is, most of all, an unwavering, impassioned inquest as Gilbert attempts to determine the immediate cause of her husbands medical termination. "--Los Angeles Times
Sandra Gilbert is a poet and critic and co-editor with Susan Gubar of
The Norton Anthology of Literature by Women. She is professor of English at the University of California, Davis.
