Synopsis

Information

The Ryries struggle to regain a semblance of normalcy after the death of their baby. Yet in the aftermath, long-suppressed uncertainties about their relationship surface and a dreadful secret emerges with reverberations that reach far into their past and threaten their future. Moving, psychologically acute, and gorgeously written, The Grief of Others shows how one family, through the shared quality of grief, is able to rekindle tenderness and hope.

"'An engrossing and revealing look at a family sinking beneath the weight of a terrible secret. Cohen writes about difficult subjects with unfailing compassion and insight.' (Tom Perrotta, author of 'Little Children') 'With gorgeous prose, Cohen skillfully takes us from past to present and back again as she explores the ramifications of family loss, grief and longing.' (Kirkus) 'Cohen is one of our foremost chroniclers of the mundane complexities, nuanced tragedies and unexpected tendernesses of human connection.' (New York Times Book Review)"
