Description

The Ryries have suffered a loss: the death of a baby just fifty-seven hours after his birth.

Without words to express their grief, the parents, John and Ricky, try to return to their previous lives.

Struggling to regain a semblance of normalcy for themselves and for their two older children, they find themselves pretending not only that little has changed, but that their marriage, their family, have always been intact.

Yet in the aftermath of the baby's death, long-suppressed uncertainties about their relationship come roiling to the surface.

A dreadful secret emerges with reverberations that reach far into their past and threaten their future. Moving, psychologically acute and gorgeously written, The Grief of Others asks how we balance personal autonomy with the intimacy of relationships, how we balance private decisions with the obligations of belonging to a family, and how we take measure of our own sorrows in a world rife with suffering.

This novel shows how one family, by finally allowing itself to experience the shared quality of grief, is able to rekindle tenderness and hope.
