Dear Anne Roiphe,
I spent all yesterday afternoon and evening, reading from start to finish this lovely memoir. I was held in your spell, truly. But I am strangely
convinced (because I have to be?) that you have met a man to love again.
Please tell me!
Best wishes,
Josephine Carr

Excellent book for widows, or for any married woman.
Very personal, intimate, writing that shares the feelings
of a woman who is articulate about her widowhood.
Also funny and entertaining in parts. I highly recommend it.
 surprisingly engaging....although not an enjoyable book October 31, 2008

I'm sure it's not surprising to anyone that this would not be an enjoyable book to read. I bought this book because I have a mother in law who is still suffering the loss of her husband who died a year and a half ago. I thought maybe this book could offer some sort of comfort since she cannot seem to find it anywhere else. It's obvious that the author can empathize.
I found the use of letters to describe people in her life a bit distracting. I think the book might have flowed a bit better with names instead. I was also a bit disappointed that the author never found another mate, although I am sure she is more so than I. I have found great respect for this woman to be able to put into words the lonliness and sadness that lay in the wake of someone who has lost their spouse. I was hoping to find the "answer" to getting back to normal after such a loss. None was given. Just the thoughts, emotion, and confusion that follow death. Although, there is some comfort to be had in the fact that these feelings seem to be normal.
As a person who is not widowed, it was an eye opener to what may lie ahead. It made me want to be a better person to my husband, while he is still alive to see it. I hope my mother in law will find some peace with this book.......we shall see.

Enjoyed the book. It ran true to the situation.
So far its the best book on grieving I have read from a widow's standpoint.
real and honest and beautifully written October 21, 2008

We're all going to die and we're all going to face the death of loved ones in our lives. Some of us write about it but few that I've read write about it as well as this. Roiphe is as she says -- sad -- and honest in talking about her grief and loneliness and hope. I bought it after I read a library copy because I wanted to have it for my own so I can read it again when I am facing these feelings myself.
