Grief Is the Thing with Feathers
In a London flat, two young boys are reeling with sadness when their mother suddenly dies. Their father, a scholar and romantic, imagines a future of well-meaning visitors and emptiness. During this period of profound despair and hopelessness, the family are visited by Crow – an antagonist, trickster, healer, and babysitter. The sentimental bird is drawn to grief and threatens to stay until it is no longer needed. This amazing debut novel is full of unexpected humour and deep emotional truths.
