saba_ts 's review for:
A Widow for One Year
by John Irving
I don't normally give 5-star ratings to anything because I think that they feel unrealistic and fake. But this is one the few books that anything less than 5-star would not have done justice to.
One line on the back-cover blurb caught my attention the first time I picked up this book, "... a brilliant novel about the passage of time and the relentlessness of grief". Being someone who knows what the relentlessness of grief feels like, how is overshadows everything before and after it, I felt like this book would speak to my soul. And it did not disappoint.
This is a wonderful book. And my only regret is that I did not read it sooner. Because in this book I finally found a friend. A friend who understood how the relentless grief is even with the passage of time.
Thank you, John Irving, for this friend.
