Title: A book that can provoke thought and hopefully discussion about grief and loss can only be a good one!
Product review: I didn't find this book depressing at all, far from it actually. I thouht it was a moving and healthy description of how people cope when someone very close to them died. The thoughts we think, the way we make assumptions, the guilt we feel "...Out loud I said I had two children. Silently I said I had three." as well as social pressures.There were times where I wanted to skim-read and move on to something else I could relate to or a faster moving scene so it's not gripped me as much as some other books have, but this novel does what it sets out to do; Make us think!... about life and death, relationships, our own ideas of heaven or what happens when we die...and overall a knowledge that grief effects us all in different ways and that although time and our lives move on, it's perfectly normal to still think about and talk about the one's we've lost.
