Description
Daphne Channing is heartsick in the wake of her father's death and haunted by his final words to her, a broken promise he'd be there when she returned. Shaken and unable to access her memories with him, she grows desperate for any shred of hope. One evening, an unexpected visitor–a large white dog–wanders out of the woods and sits down beside her. The animal, who she learns responds to the name Grief, serves as her companion as she navigates the complex stages of bereavement, opens herself up to the possibility of new love, and unearths both the brutal realities and hidden blessings buried in the rubble of her darkest day.
With Grief as her co-pilot, Daphne finds her way through life on the other side of Life as she knew it.
Goodreads reviewer Edward wrote: "This book doesn’t try to explain grief, it simply lives in it. The emotions felt real, the prose was hauntingly beautiful, and the ending left me with a soft kind of hope. Not the kind that says, “Everything will be okay,” but the kind that says, “You’re not alone, even in the darkness.” I’ve already bought copies for two friends who are navigating their own losses. It’s that kind of book—one you want to press into someone’s hands when you don’t have the right words."
This grief book is a good read for fiction readers who liked:Bear: A Novel by Julia PhillipsThis Time Tomorrow by Emma StraubThe Beginner’s Goodbye by Anne TylerOne Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle
He Answers to Grief makes a good grief gift for women or those navigating the loss of a parent or family member. While this is not a self-help book about grief, many who are mourning will find concepts they can relate to. Written as a women's fiction novella, the chapters are short and meant to reflect the disjointed thoughts that occur during different stages of the grieving process.
Dog lovers will also relate to the special connection between Daphne and Grief. Her view of the animal changes and deepens with time, as any dog owner or dog lover can understand. Read more
