Report

Many people who have been bereaved have found A Grief Observed to be a source of great consolation ... Lewis deploys his genius for vivid imagery that made his Narnia books so remarkable ... It is a relief for the reader to find that he or she is not alone in the intense loneliness or feelings of anguish that bereavement brings. Henry Marsh The Times
