How to Talk to a Widower

I finally sat down & read this title, over the years I had skimmed through this book several times.  I love a lot of the dialog in this book & it has quite a few scenario descriptions.  The main character in this title loses his wife after only a year of marriage.  The story shows him go through several stages of grief but it starts a year after the event.  Like the book Perfect Family I love how the author characterizes the person who has died and makes them an equally important essential to the story being told.  The underlying theme of this title is hope for a brighter future, a silver lining for tomorrow.  Another great thing I like about this title are the smaller narratives woven within the larger story.  One of my favorites is when Doug is still spending his days drinking & declaring war on the rabbits of his yard.  I own a copy of this title & definitely plan on looking for more work by this author.
