A Grief Observed comprises the reflections of the great scholar & Christian on the death of his wife after only a few short years of marriage Painfully honest in its dissection of his thoughts & feelings this is a book that details his paralysing grief bewilderment & sense of loss in simple & moving prose Invaluable as an insight into the grieving process just as much as it is as an exploration of religious doubt A Grief Observed will continue to offer its consoling insights to a huge range of readers as it has for over fifty years 'A classic of the genre a literary answer to the pain of loss' Robert Mc Crum
