Spontaneous read induced by my inability to avoid anything in relation to crows...

Starts off a little weak and somewhat bland but progresses past that towards the middle of the book. I quite liked the scattered expression of the book as I do not think grief can be portrayed/described easily so the many "gaps" in the writing's structure were appreciated as they really allow you to fill in your experience with grief to compliment that of the family's and also avoids being superfluous.

All in all, this is one of those books that get better as they marinate in the back of your mind and dabble with your own ideas and experiences relating to grief.
