Three people form an unlikely but spirited connection.


Adrian is a renowned scholar, an expert on death in the modern age whose life has stalled.

Kezi, a young and passionate artist, has been rejected by her family. She hurtles through her days with defiance and regret.

Laura is a successful town planner submerged in a seemingly perfect marriage.


In The Buried Life Andrea Goldsmith brilliantly dissects the conflicts and complexities of contemporary life in a story of love and friendship, faith and fundamentalism, subtly underscored by the power of poetry and music. 


You can stifle the past but it will breathe again.


Praise for The Buried Life:
A novel about death and life, Mahler, poetry and cheese. Goldsmith writes so well
about friendship, her characters come to feel like your own friends. - Andrew Ford
A rumination on death and the complexity of love from one of our nation’s most brilliant minds. -Marieke Hardy
