The Rules of Inheritance: A Memoir by Claire Bidwell Smith

3.0

I liked the concept of the way it was written. It is made up of 5 parts - each a phase of grief. Within each part are 3 chapters, each a different time period in her life. That is what I think took away from the book - bouncing around between the various stages. It actually made it hard to follow at times.

I have experienced the loss of loved ones, however, I am fotunate enough to still have both my parents so can't fully relate to the author's loss. This might be a reason why I have rated this only 3 stars when it seems to average slightly over 4.
