Imagine, if you will, that you are grieving two loved ones. You’ve just gone through the most horrific weeks of your life – filled with intrusive but well-meaning neighbours, family bombshells, and death times two. Your only reprieve is a self-help audio guide on tape, which begins as follows:
Set over the course of one week, Harry’s world implodes as she’s quietly eaten alive by grief. And there’s an entire village constantly appearing on her doorstep, in her kitchen, at her bathroom window … Hell-bent on giving her parents a final send-off they’d be proud of, Harry must navigate an overbearing, micromanaging aunt; a socially awkward cousin; and an uncle with the full force of God on his side. Harry discovers that grief doesn’t play by any rules. Soon, neither will she.
