Rosenblatt's daughter died. She was young and seemingly healthy, but she died, leaving a husband and young children. Rosenblatt and his wife moved in with the husband and the grandkids and tried to put things aright, to make sense of what happened and to help the little family figure out what to do next.
A lovely read.
This is easy reading, a loose collection of stories, memories and thoughts about death, grieving and the impact these feelings have on a family. I found the name dropping tedious, and the snapshots of family life an incredibly privileged sort of life that I find it hard to find sympathy for. I am sorry for your loss, but good lord this is some upper crust grief right here.
