This symphonic work of non-fiction delves into the biological, cultural, and historical aspects of crying, weaving together a rich tapestry of science, history, and personal experience. Through her own story of loss and grief, Christle sheds light on the complex ways in which tears are perceived and utilized across different cultures and disciplines.
