My Cemetery Journeys - Mariana Enriquez

From Saturday Morning, 10:05 am today

Award-winning Argentine novelist and journalist Mariana Enriquez's fascination with burial grounds as a teenager lead to a lifelong interest in uncovering the secrets of our final resting places. 

Her latest book Somebody Is Walking on Your Grave documents over 25 years of visiting some of the world's most iconic cemeteries, and some of the world's forgotten ones too. 

Her previous work was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. 

She speaks with Susie Ferguson.
