This is a good book that I would reccommend to anyone who is interested in the mechanics of two families moving through the grief process brought on by suicide, alcoholism, and mental illness. As dark as the book sounds, it has many humorous moments. The characters are very well drawn.
It's one of my favorites.
Not a fan of Marya Hornbacher's fiction. It was just so weird for me, having read her other fiction books like eleventy hundred times. it was a good story, though! And I will be keeping this book, since she is my favorite author :)
