Their father, a Ted Hughes scholar and scruffy romantic, imagines a future of well-meaning visitors and emptiness. In this moment of despair they are visited by Crow - antagonist, trickster, healer, babysitter. This sentimental bird is drawn to the grieving family and threatens to stay until they no longer need him. As weeks turn to months and the pain of loss gives way to memories, the little unit of three starts to heal. In this extraordinary debut - part novella, part polyphonic fable, part essay on grief - Max Porter's compassion and bravura style combine to dazzling effect. Full of unexpected humour and profound emotional truth, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers marks the arrival of a thrilling new talent 650 0 Motherless families|vFiction 650 0 Mothers|xDeath|vFiction 650 0 Grief|vFiction 650 0 Fathers and sons|vFiction 650 7 Döden|2sao 650 7 Sorg|2sao 650 7 Tröst|2sao 650 7 Livshändelser|2sao 650 7 Barn och döden|2sao 650 7 Föräldrar och barn|2sao 650 7 Far-barnrelationer|2sao 650 7 Far-sonrelationer|2sao 650 7 Änklingar|2sao 650 7 Familjer|2sao 655 7 Skönlitteratur|2saogf 907 00 160317
