Grief Is the Thing with Feathers

Grief Is the Thing with Feathers: a Novel / Max Porter, 114 p.

A patron recently urged me to take this home, and I'm so glad I did.  This one had been on my list for awhile, thanks to earlier reviews by Patrick and Christa.

A woman dies suddenly, leaving her husband and children grieving desperately.  A crow knocks on the door in the night and takes up residence, to see the family through the grief.  Porter captures the truth here: death is weird.  Very, very weird.
