En skånsom død er en kort, intens og personlig skildring af Simone de Beauvoirs mors sidste tid – hendes sygdomsforløb og død – og samtidig et stærkt psykologisk og sociologisk portræt af at være kvinde og mor, af forholdet mellem mødre og døtre, og ikke mindst af tidens strenge moral, der har formet Beauvoirs mor og kilet sig ned mellem hende og datteren. En oktoberdag på en rejse i Rom bliver Simone de Beauvoir ringet op. Hendes mor har været ude for et uheld. Det bliver begyndelsen på et langt og i sidste ende uhelbredeligt sygdomsforløb – men også på genforeningen mellem mor og datter.
