Grief Is the Thing with Feathers

An incredible little novel (is it a novel?) about a family of two boys and father, and a crow. The wife/mother has just died and this is the story of the family's journey through grief, which is helped along by the crow. It's a beautifully written mix of prose and verse, which made me laugh out loud and cry a little (which is not something I do very often while reading). I loved it.
