review 1: I just read that this novel is being made into a movie that should be completed later this year. I had no idea about that when I picked it up at the library as I was between audiobooks and I thought a story that dealt with the death of an infant who lived only 57 hours and the grief of the family would be interesting. I liked the book for the most part but I found it uneven as there were some parts that were very emotional and riveting and others that dragged on. The entire family was dysfunctional but they felt real.
review 2: The Grief of Others, by Leah Hager Cohen, was truly marvelous! It was an intriguing plot, uniquely presented through various windows of time. I loved the writing, which flowed in such a way that the reader was firmly ensconced from the... more beginning. With marvelous powers of description, the author’s telling is poignant and intense, at times incredibly painful, but with comic relief interspersed. I just happened on this gem at Costco, attracted by the cover as well as the ringing endorsements, and will surely be hunting down other works by this author. less
