Making Toast by Roger Rosenblatt

3.0

A lengthened essay about a grandfather (and grandmother) who step in as assistant parents to their grandchildren after their daughter dies. The narrative isn't a thread, but a series of vignettes that is both current events and memories of the deceased. In many ways, it is a mirror of grief in the clarity of some moments and the complete forgetting of others. There is little to no easing of grief through this book.
