A unique, serious novel about death, and the way the living survivors deal with the death of a family member. It is so finely crafted it is inspiring for a writer to read, if only to admire the skill of the author. It is surprising that it is not better known, except that the subject matter is so depressing. Of course, I have experienced the death of both parents and all my grandparents, so maybe I can read it with understanding and a little detachment. Still, I was choked up at times.
I highly recommend it, but only if you think you can handle the subject matter...
