Grief is the Thing with Feathers | Max Porter

Right after this grieving dad‘s feelings gut me, the author adds a groan-y quirky laugh. The idea that missing someone is physical is how I‘ve experienced it as well. The fridge magnet, not so much.

IamIamIam What a powerful line... "how physical my missing is"... wow, a great statement. 5y

CouronneDhiver ❤️ aww, I can understand that sentiment 5y

Caterina This book is so beautiful and heart-wrenching. ❤️😭 Made me think a lot of my nine cousins and two uncles who lost their mothers young. 💔 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @CouronneDhiver Me too. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Caterina Yes, it changes everything about the rest of life. 💔 5y

heikemarie I didn‘t love this book when I read it - but perhaps I should revisit it after I‘ve experienced the tremendous loss he‘s grappling with. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @heikemarie I think it means more to me because I have lost someone close to me in an accidental death. But it‘s such an odd book. Still trying to formulate my review. 5y

Such a lovely and poetic book about grief but also about life. The portrait of the father is so good and moving. #GriefIsTheThingWithFeathers #MaxPorter
