While many don't think it is about grief, I found "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" to be allllll about grief. Also "Grief is Love" (memoir) by Marisa Renee Lee. "The Taste of Ginger" by Mansi Shah. "Golden Girl" by Elin Hilderbrand. I feel like most novels I have read lately have elements of grief within them.
Penny, I'm taking a writing class right now and working on a memoir about grief and motherhood. Your latest update landed in my inbox at just the right time! <3
My latest read is "The Measure" by Nikki Erlick, which I think would fit beautifully with your syllabus.
I can’t vouch for where the book is going, since I’m only 22% through it, but “Under the Whispering Door” by TJ Klune matches this theme exceptionally well.
A memoir that immediately comes to mind for your grief syllabus is A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanauken.
I don't know that one. Thank you! (And hope you are doing well)

I haven't read all of these. Thanks for adding to my TBR list!

Oh wow, I'm listening to the audio of this book now. Just started but you're right! (And I'm very interested in hearing more about your memoir).

I have a few other friends who love his writing, but this might be the push for me to read his work, too. Thanks, Jay!
For novels dealing with grief, I must suggest Diane Zinna's THE ALL-NIGHT SUN.
Just added it to my list. Thank you!
Hamlet
Hamnet, that is
It's on my very long TBR list. I'll move it up to the top. Thank you!
Yes, Hamnet! And the audiobook is excellent!
