I couldn’t stop comparing the book with my feelings about Mrs Death Misses Death, a book written by a poet, and which I enjoyed more. Somehow, Grief is the Thing with Feathers didn’t touch my heart as much.
There are 3 parts, the change in main human characters happens quickly because of the pace and the length of the book, and I didn’t quit have a time to grasp it.
There 2 women in the book: one is dead, another one was used for sex as a way to show that the father/husband character is healing from his deeper grief, but is not yet there.
