I picked this up randomly at Joseph Fox books, my favourite cute little bookshop on Sansom street. The story is set in Philadelphia-->characters are refreshing, each chapter is in in the voice of one of three characters.

I also loved this quote--it really expressed how I felt when my Dad died:

"There are people whose deaths make you ache with sadness. And then there are people whose deaths prevent the sun from rising, deaths that turn the walls black in every room you walk through, deaths that send storm clouds and a wail swirling through your head so that you can't hear music and you can't recognize your furniture or your own face in the mirror."
