review 1: I read a review somewhere that said that they did not enjoy the interjection of the authors field of study (astronomy) in to the story, but reading that, it intrigued me enough to enter to win this book thru Goodreads. Well I won it thru Goodreads First Reads program and when I read it, I thought the author had woven a pretty good story about loss, coming to terms with that loss and finding herself thru the process. I enjoy the pieces about astronomy that she had written into the story. The writing style of going back to the time of the loss was a little distracting to me but I understand the authors need to delve deeper into the time of the main characters childhood to explain who she was and why she was that way.
review 2: This is a story about grief, and ... moreadapting to the situation in which you find yourself. There are the little griefs, like the irritation on dealing with colleagues, there are more important griefs, like the breakdown of relationships, and there is bereavement. This is also a book about astronomy with the clever trick of convincing readers that we know what the author is talking about. This book is astonishing. less
