This book was a very easy read -- interesting, thought provoking, and less than 200 pages. Written by a Pulitzer prize winner, it tells the story of a 36 year old man whose wife dies when an oak tree crushes part of their home. He works his way through the guilt and grief of his loss, aided by occasional visits from his dead wife. Although nothing remarkable happens at any time, I found the book difficult to put down.
