I listened to A Widow's Story, a memoir by Joyce Carol Oates. It's a lengthy elucidation of, primarily, the first month after becoming a widow. The vocabulary is deliciously palatable, and envisaging this eventuality is easy because of the exquisite writing. Listening to this book was laborious and depressing, so I took breaks to listen to other novels. Her experience feels identifiable, but I would like to know how she is now. Definitely not for all readers.
