A Fine and Private Place - Peter S. Beagle

My bookclub's most recent book is A Fine and Private Place, which was a quick read but did not move me very much. It was sort of a modern take on "Our Place," which I always hated:
 full of the soliloquies of the dead watching the living and trying to make sense of the meaning of life. Parts were touching and I was drawn to the character of Rebeck, a kindly old man who lives in a cemetery and can see and speak to the dead, but I would not necessarily recommend this book to others, as parts were a bit maudlin and overwrought.
