Gail Griffin had only been married for four months when her husband's body was found in the Manistee River, just a few yards from their cabin door. The terrain of memoir is full of stories of grief, though Grief's Country is less concerned with the biography of a love affair than with the lived phenomenon of grief itself.
Those interested in the subject area of death and dying will find it useful as a book that bypasses recovery narratives, truisms, and "stages of griefto get as close as possible to the experience itself.
