Alternating between her life before and after suicide, Dorotea observes the people she left behind and also chronicles the morbid details of what is happening to her physical body. We learn of her painful childhood, the father she never knew, her emotionally vacant mother, her struggle with depression and the boyfriend who thought so very little of her that he broke up with her via text message. In dark, morbid, yet oftentimes humorous prose, Dorotea shares her unhappy story. She attends her own funeral, returns to work at the stationary store as scheduled, sees her old boyfriend has found someone new, and visits her home and old room where she cries and cries. As the story opens she has already died, and although her physical body is dead, she's back among the living, unwilling to say goodbye to her former life. She slits her wrists in the same bathtub where her mother gave birth to her. In The Hollow Heart, on Jat 3:29 p.m., twenty-five year old Dorotea Giglio commits suicide.
