Two thoughts on this one, first I loved that it mentioned the piece of art pictured above by Alma Thomas. I just bought tickets to an exhibit of hers for next month! I love when that happens. Second, the way the author talks about the layers of grief, complications of life, & the anger you can still feel at someone even after they‘ve passed it was very real to me. It was a very realistic picture of grief, particularly when you lose someone young.

AvidReader25 “Sometimes I find myself thinking the thought that no self-respecting adult is supposed to think. The whine of a child: it‘s not fair. It‘s not fair he died at 29. It‘s not fair he died when we were in this complicated state. There was a throbbing meaninglessness that could at any moment spread into an ache and pull me apart.“ 57m

I was drawn to it because it dealt with the death of a musician, and I just love drama that involves musicians. But this book delivered so much more than that. It dealt with that uncomfortable part of life called grief and not knowing how you are going to handle it when it comes, how the process is not lineal.

I can't fully describe how this book made me feel, but Muharrar's writing just kept me coming back over and over.
