4.0

A relatable, moving, and oftentimes entertaining, memoir of the first few years after spousal death, but suitable for anyone who has been bereaved.

This book did a number of things; first it made my happy, to see my dear friend and one of my favourite authors writing again. Secondly, it broke my heart. I cried and I laughed, some of which was cathartic, other times I was crying from my friend and crying for people I didn't even know. Helen has an absolutely brilliant way of writing, which is what makes such a tough subject so easy (if that's the right word) to read. I really, truly loved this book and am going to be giving it to everyone and anyone.
